March 16, 20215 yr The sim CPU we've been waiting for(?) has officially been announced. What we know: https://www.forbes.com/sites/antonyleather/2021/03/16/intel-announces-11th-gen-core-i9-11900k-i7-11700k-and-i5-11600k-desktop-cpu-details-and-pricing/ "the Core i9-11900K, which will have a peak boost frequency of 5.3GHz and all-core frequency of 4.8GHz, will have a launch price of $539, which is around $60 more than the Core i9-10900K." "the Core i9-11900K has eight cores and 16 threads, which is two fewer cores than the Core i9-10900K. The reason for this is that the Cypress Cove architecture used in the new CPUs is based upon the new Sunny Cove architecture used in its 11th Gen mobile 10nm CPUs, but scaling this up to more powerful desktop parts didn't quite work out." https://www.cnet.com/news/intel-core-i9-11900k-leads-rollout-of-11th-gen-desktop-chips/ "As part of the 11th gen, these CPUs include Intel's latest Xe graphics architecture, here dubbed Intel UHD Graphics 750, the more efficient Cypress Cove cores that add Deep Learning Boost (AI acceleration), support for 20 PCIe 4 lanes (up to 44 PCIe lanes total) with Resizable BAR, the ability to use faster DDR4-3200 memory and more. While it doesn't generally add up to a huge performance increase for gaming over 10th gen -- Intel's own numbers show roughly less than 15% for 1080p play -- the video codecs and DL Boost do help a lot with photo- and video-editing". https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1621144-REG/intel_bx8070811900k_core_i9_11900k_3_5_ghz.html - B&H says expected availability March 30th. Oz Sim Rig: MSI RTX3090 Suprim, an old, partly-melted Intel 9900K @ 5GHz+, Honeycomb Alpha, Thrustmaster TPR Rudder, Warthog HOTAS, Reverb G2, Prosim 737 cockpit. Currently flying: MSFS: PMDG 737-700, Fenix A320, Leonardo MD-82, MIlviz C310, Flysimware C414AW, DC Concorde, Carenado C337. Prepar3d v5: PMDG 737/747/777. "There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are."
March 17, 20215 yr Intel claims that it is 14% faster than the 5900X at 1080P in their own studies in MSFS 2020. We'll see if that holds out in independent testing. I'm not convinced that going from 10th to 11th gen is really a major generational change. Edited March 17, 20215 yr by ricka47 Rick Abshier 5900X | RTX 5070 Ti OC| 64 GB@3600 | India Pale Ale
March 17, 20215 yr I don't have a 10900K but I am wondering how the overclocked performance of the two will compare if two cores are turned off on the 10900K.

March 18, 20215 yr I'd rather have 10 cores at 5.2 than 8 cores at 5.3 in P3D--most of the rest of the stuff (integrated GPU, additional PCIe lanes etc) is irrelevant to simming.

March 18, 20215 yr 14% faster doesn’t justify upgrade from 10900k to 11900k for me. Skipping the 11th gen.
