The Geekbench listing was noted by Twitter user LeakBench. The listing shows that the processor has eight cores with hyperthreading, as expected. According to the Geekbench listing, the chip has a clock speed of 3.6GHz. That is slightly lower than the current Core i7-10700K, which is clocked at 3.8GHz by default. VideoCardz writes that the upcoming 11700K will have a turbo frequency of 5.0GHz, but this is not mentioned on the Geekbench page. Furthermore, the amount of cache remains unchanged from Comet Lake.

The Intel Core i7-11700K achieves scores of 1807 with a single core and 10673 with all cores respectively in Geekbench. With the previous Core i7-10700K these scores are 1349 and 8973 respectively. The Ryzen 7 5800X, which also has eight cores and sixteen threads, achieves an average single-core score of 1663 with a multicore result of 10361 without manual overclocking. is listed on Geekbench. The higher positioned Ryzen 9 5950X with sixteen cores and smt achieves average scores of 1672 and 16515 respectively.

Intel will probably introduce the Rocket Lake chips at CES, which will be held digital in January. This is a new series of desktop processors, which use Cypress Cove cores that are made at 14nm. The company confirmed earlier this year that the Rocket Lake generation will ship with up to eight physical cores. In the previous Comet Lake series, that number was a maximum of ten. Intel adds support for PCIe 4.0 and an integrated Xe GPU to its upcoming chips, among other things.
