The upcoming Intel Core “Rocket Lake-S” processors are expected to launch in mid-March according to the latest reports and will come in three different series, Intel Core i9, i7, and i5, to cover different fronts in the PC segment, from high-end to mid-range. We know that the Rocket Lake-S architecture will not be present at the launch, at least in the low-end range (i3, Pentium, Celeron).

The i5-11600K processor is listed on Geekbench as a 6-core, 12-core processor with a base clock of 3.9 GHz and a boost clock of 4.9 GHz. The chip was tested on a Gigabyte Z490M motherboard and with DDR4 memory @ 2133 MHz. This means that the result is definitely affected by a relatively slow memory configuration.

In the Geekbench benchmarks, the Intel Core i5-11600K achieves a single-core score of 1565 points, which is one point below the also 6-core, 12-thread AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. The performance increase over the Comet Lake-S is 19% single-threaded.

The sample appears to be early, as the multi-threaded performance is 13% below the i5-10600K. The chart below represents the average scores based on the official Geekbench V5 CPU rankings or manually calculated from the scores available on the platform.

Rocket Lake-S is scheduled for release on March 15.
