An Intel Core i7-11700 has passed through Geekbench testing with flying colors, hitting 4.8 GHz and recording an incredible single-core performance score that easily surpasses the i7-10700K and just squeezes past the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. A separate benchmark revealed the capabilities of the i7-11700's UHD Graphics 750 iGPU.

Rocket Lake would make an impressive gaming pc. If they have good supply it will be an affordable one too.
What software application or game does Intel or anyone else imagine that having the highest single core score will make a difference in, in the real world? AMD kills Intel in every multicore test, and this does make a difference in the real word. Beyond being a pretty number, single core scores are pointless and meaningless.
What an astonishing win of 3%!! This is even lower than error delta when I bench my CPU! Come on, journalists!
At the same time, 20+% at multicore is hard to neglect.
So this was at 4.88GHz 1T boost?
My estimated 4.7 GHz 1T boost = around 1655 points, or slightly slower than the Ryzen 5800X.
Sorry I forgot to state the 4.7GHz is the stated 1T boost speed for the 5800X.
All in all, what actual practial advantage does this have over the competition? I can't see any. Gaming, some might say? Many games these days are highly-threaded, and if you're running at 4K you're much more at risk of the GPU bottlenecking the entire system.
So what am I actually gaining with this Intel part over the AMD one, and is that gain anything more than synthetic?

But surely so are AMD Ryzen and previous-gen Intel? Would the i7-11700 afford a noticeable and worthwhile difference in this title?
If you use your computer for large Excel Spreadsheets a computer with more cores and a faster clock speed is better. It will be easier for the computer to recalculate formulas.
A "win" within error margins for single-core and a substantial loss in multi-core against a CPU with the same number of cores and probably ~1/2 the power draw under heavy loud.

Guys, wake up. Are you seriously talking about 3% at the single core? This is less than a typical error margin when you bench your CPU. You can run the test two times in a row and get a 4% "advantage" one time.
But at the same time, +20% multi-core can't be neglected.
