Ouch. Don't see a reason to upgrade my 9700k anytime soon. May be looking at an AMD build when that time comes too from the recent reviews. Sounds like Intel is not the default king anymore in terms of gaming.

More interesting are the multi-threaded SPEC results. Here, the new generation from Intel is showcasing a +7.3% and +19.5% performance improvement over its direct predecessor. Given the power draw increases we’ve seen this generation, those are rather unimpressive results, and actually represent a perf/W regression. AMD’s current 6-core 5600X actually is very near to the 10700K, consuming a fraction of the power. (OUCH)

A Comment on Gaming: Core Latency​

Users looking at our gaming results will undoubtedly be disappointed. The improvements Intel has made to its processor seem to do very little in our gaming tests, and in a lot of cases, we see performance regressions rather than improvements.

Yea even though this isnt their top of the line Rocket Lake processor, this is just as disappointing as I thought it would be, in some scenarios it was actually worse than the 10700K. They've got absolutely no answer for AMD.
