On YouTube a new video emerged of an i7-11700 Rocket Lake processor, being bitter against the predominantly the 5800X. The i7-11700 appears to be slightly faster than the 5800X in both the single- and multi-threaded tests of the CPU-Z Bench.

It also shows it's faster than Ryzen 7 5800X in Cinebench R15 and R20. However, this has to be stated, I just compared this results set of the 5800X with our own benchmarks, and theirs seem to be lower, at least in the single-threaded numbers they're way off. In the video 5800X keeps the lead with 7-Zip but Blender then would favor the i7-11700. In V-Ray and Handbrake Ryzen is then faster again.

It has also been compared how Cypress Cove's larger cache should affect memory performance. The L2 cache has grown less, but in Aida64 the L2 cache is about 50% faster in read and copy tasks. The L3 cache is slightly slower with a performance drop of up to 20%. We have a bit of an issue with the Ryzen values as the numbers don't add up in all tests, and we don't know what the PL plans on this motherboard has been for the Core i7-11700. The i7-11700 offers an 8 core / 16 thread configuration under the Cypress Cove architecture at a 14nm+++ process, clocked at 2.90 / 4.40 GHz, and a 65W TDP.
