Intel Rocket Lake leak shows an 8-core CPU that could rival AMD’s Ryzen 5800X

Intel’s Rocket Lake flagship – presumably this is the top-end chip, because it’s an 8-core model – has been spotted in a leaked benchmark which shows that it’s on an equal footing with AMD’s Ryzen 5800X (which also has 8-cores).

Ever-present Twitter leaker Tum_Apisak dug up the Geekbench 5 result, which shows an 8-core Rocket Lake processor (11th-gen chips will top out at 8-cores) inside an HP Omen desktop PC (which the PC maker is presumably using in testing – assuming this result is genuine, of course, and not some kind of fabrication).

So, pinches of salt to hand as noted, the score of 1,645 in single-core is very close to the Ryzen 5800X which hits around 1,660 as Wccftech observes.
