Intel's Core i7-11700K Rocket Lake CPU has made a second appearance in the Geekbench database and benchmarked on the Z490 platform. The leaked benchmark was spotted by TUM_APISAK & the results show a significant double-digit gain over its predecessor in both single and multi-core tests.

The Intel Core i7 lineup is directly positioned against the Ryzen 7 lineup however, it looks like the same would be the case for the Core i9 lineup this generation since both tiers will end up with 8 cores and 16 threads while AMD can maximize its core count up to 16 cores on its Ryzen 9 family.
