An Intel Core i7-11700K has been blasting its way through Geekbench and recording mighty single-core scores that go beyond the i9-10900K, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, and even the Ryzen 9 5950X. The 8-core, 16-thread i7-11700K was supported by 32 GB RAM in a Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Master motherboard. Its clock speed reached 5.0 GHz.

Quotebut this is still Intel's next-generation of chips competing with AMD's last generation.
Nice to see NBC
finally acknowledging this, a point many people can't seem to grasp. (Edit: actually, unless I'm missing something, in this case this is actually incorrect, as Vermeer is, AFAICT, AMD's new generation, so these two chips are truly apples-to-apples)
And it's amazing how suddenly, after years of ~10% generational improvements, give or take, Intel suddenly surges forward with a 25%+ increase now that they have strong competition. And that's with two fewer cores, which makes this easily three times the typical improvement over the past several years. Just imagine where we would be today had Intel pushed themselves all those years instead of being lazy. We might have had today's CPUs two or three years ago if not sooner. But I suppose that might have made it impossible for AMD to come back, so maybe we should be glad they dragged their feet.
As for this i9 vs R9, I'd take 50% higher multi-core performance over 25% more single-core any day, especially if the power usage is lower and the cost is lower. Not to mention the significantly better chance of being able to upgrade within the same socket.
Actually this represents a 7.6% advantage to Intel in Single Core only and a 49.4% disadvantage in multicore. Add to this the significantly lower power consumption advantage AMD has and there is no real competition to the AMD.

Oh, wow, yeah. Can't believe I made that mistake, posted while watching TV. So even more so AMD > Intel in this case.
14nm

14nm
stop BS'ing us. Thermodynamics or GTFO.
Ryzen 5900 series came out last month. They are AMDs current generation and Intel Gen 11 is Intel's.
If they are matched at 14nm then imagine how Intel will destroy competition with 10nm.

Zen 3 is existing generation you can buy, and Intel Gen 11 is an upcoming generation. If I'm wrong - go buy Gen 11 cpu. Can't do it?
They are not matched, first of all. Intel CPUs are much more power hungry when they try to match current AMD CPUs. And Intel's 14nm are actually smaller than, say, AMD's 14nm, so that there isn't that much room of improvement as you may think. And regarding 10nm - why don't they offer such for desktop market? Even for the upcoming generation.
How much the difference is from workload using AVX512 in the benchmark?
