At 9:00 p.m. Beijing time on March 30, 2021, intel officially lifted the final ban on the 11th generation Core desktop processor codenamed Rocket Lake-S! This generation of processors is finally completely with the SkyLake architecture to say Bye, replaced by the new Cypress Cove processor architecture. Cypress Cove is essentially a combination of two Intel processor architectures, and its processor computing core part is very similar to the Sunny Cove architecture used by ICE LAKE processors. Sunny Cove has an IPC improvement of about 19% compared to the Skylake architecture that the sixth generation of Core processors began to use (at that time Intel's CPU and microarchitecture code names were not yet separated, both called "Skylake").
We are also proud to be the first trialists of Rocket Lake-S! I got an i7-11700K boxed three-year warranty CPU with UHD750 nuclear display.
From the known 11th Gen intel Core Desktop Processors model endorsement, the 11700K's technical references are at a glance. The i7-11700K processor is designed for 8 cores and 16 threads, TDP125W. The processor has 4MB L2 cache and 16MB L3 cache, and the memory supports dual channel DDR4-3200 by default.
The 11700K has a base frequency of 3.6GHz, a Turbo2.0 frequency of 4.9GHz, a Turbo3.0 frequency of 5.0GHz, and a full core turbo frequency of 4.6GHz. The processor supports instruction sets such as AVX-512 and FMA3. The processor itself has 20 PCIe4.0 direct-attached channels, which can directly support a PCIe4.0 display and a PCIe4.0x4 high-speed SSD. In addition, the CPU integrates an Intel Xe-LP core display with 32 rendered EUs.
Intel said that the 11th Gen intel Core Desktop Processors equipped with UHD750 core display using the same architecture as Intel mobile Xe-LP, is currently the most efficient nuclear display architecture, but the 96EU rendering unit has been reduced to 32EU, in the previous sneak show, this Xe architecture of the core display is not only powerful performance, but also covers a wide range of functions, support including asynchronous computing, view instantiation, sampler feedback, with AV1 updated version of the media engine, updated version of the display engine, etc.
The Intel Core i7-11700K uses the same CPU configuration as the flagship chip, but the clock frequency is slightly lower and the price will be more affordable. The CPU continues to use the 14nm process node, but it is believed that this will be the last madness of 14nm. Adopting the Cypress Cove core delivers double-digit IPC gains.
In the 11th generation Core series desktop processors, the basic specifications of core i9 and i7 are the same, both are 8 cores and 16 threads, the former mainly more TVB acceleration can make the frequency higher, there are rumors that the memory controller is also slightly different, but the area of the core should not be much different. Judging from the pictures, die's area is quite large, and there is a feeling that the LGA1200 socket is not enough to put it. It is estimated to be 270mm², which is about 28% larger than the area of the Core i9-10900K!
In this test, we did not use the Z590 motherboard but used the B560 motherboard, we wanted 11700K the purest nuclear display to play! In order to express concern about the power supply demand of the new nuclear display, the MSI B560 motherboard has added the number of power supply phases for the nuclear display. As for the CPU-powered part, mainstream models such as the mortar will remain unchanged, because the existing power supply design can already operate with a 10-core, 20-thread processor. The comprehensive stacking of the MSI B560M MORTAR WIFI motherboard is reassuring.
The memory selection is Zhiqi's flagship Trident Z Royal 3200MHz 8GB×2 Royal Halberd set, with a precision-carved diamond guide design and high-quality electroplated mirror metal vest, which perfectly elevates the RGB lighting effect to a new level of "Royal Diamond Color". As the Royal Halberd F4-3200C14D-16GTRG where appearance and performance coexist, it is naturally the first choice for DIY with a sufficient budget.
SSD is selected by Yingchi HOF PRO 500GB M.2, it is a high-speed solid-state drive with PCIe 4.0 master control, the first batch of consumer-grade PCIe 4.0 solid-state drives, its transmission bandwidth directly doubled to 16GT/s, and the speed of sequential reading can also reach 5.0GB/s.
It is to test uhd750 nuclear display! The new generation of MSI MPG CORELIQUID K360 integrated water-cooled radiator selected for the radiator, the price is a high-end platform to create a sharp weapon, the combination of the embedded fan in the cold head, the TORX 4.0 fan and the 360 cold row makes people eager to try, and the heat dissipation design is remarkable. In doing its job, the performance of MPG CORELIQUID K360 is beyond doubt. The 2.4-inch LCD screen on the water-cooled head is also quite playable.
UHD750 nuclear display model is too new, which leads to nowhere to find the driver, first try the old version of Intel UHD630 driver directly hit, the result failed; then Lu master, driver master, driver wizard... Actually all do not recognize that there is a new graphics card that needs to be driven... Finally remembered... Directly to MSI to the official website to search the B560M MORTAR WIFI driver list, this is the solution! However, after all, it is not completely unblocked, so even the latest version of GPU-Z cannot recognize uhdder750 as an artifact.
However, through the actual measurement of the 3DMark benchmark, it can be seen that there is no problem in not recognizing, and the improvement of combat effectiveness is real! FireStrike was designed for testing game platforms based on DirectX 11 graphics cards, and the UHD750 ran a 2091 score, which can already be seen as equivalent to the performance of the introductory solo display.
3DMark has added a new test item called Night Raid. The main test of DX12 performance, including dynamic reflections, ambient occlusion, delayed rendering, surface subdivision, complex particles and depth of field effects and other tests, and Time Spy, but the requirements are lower than time Spy, can be seen as a low-end version of the DX12 test project. This test project looks like it's mainly aimed at low-end Windows devices, with uhd630 scoring about 6400 points, while uhd750 scores 10700 points, a performance improvement of nearly 70%!
Master Lu ran 100,000 + this result has been equal to GTX750, to know that this unique display in JS can also be called to "no matter good or bad, 300 will!" "That's why we have it — she's here, she's coming!" She's upgrading the nuclear manifest killing! Measured Intel's strongest "love wife" such an emotion!
UHD750 no matter how 666, she is only nuclear! So I was very pragmatic in the game testing, I just tested the highest quality test LOL at a standard 2K high score of 2560 × 1440! It is said that this is a classic that the nuclear display is enough, and what if there is really only a nuclear display left? That's the result – 2K high scores out an average of 80+ frames! I thought she was really worth it!
Intel's 11th generation Core processors are finally going to replace the UHD 630 core graphics card that has remained unchanged for 10,000 years, and the new Xe architecture core graphics are finally here. 11th generation Core i7 11700K integrated named UHD 750 nuclear display, theoretical performance compared to UHD 630 has a 70% improvement, the game performance improvement must be even worse, 11th generation Core reminds me of "temporarily leave the purple platform to flutter, why fear the wind and snow always Xiao Xiao." I don't see the rain and wet place last night, but talk about waiting for this day with a new look."
