The PCIe Gen 4 storage performance of Intel’s 11th Gen Core i9-11900K processor is substantially better than that of AMD’s Ryzen 9 5950X. This is according to a new benchmark shared by Intel chief strategist Ryan Shrout and storage technical analyst Allyn Malventano, which show the Rocket Lake-S processor with a 11 percent lead over red team’s Zen 3-based CPU in PCMark 10’s Quick System Drive Benchmark. A Samsung SSD 980 PRO (1 TB) was used in the test.
“At #CES21 we looked at Rocket Lake-S gaming,” Shrout tweeted. “Here’s a sneak peek of Core i9-11900K PCIe Gen 4 storage performance – up to 11 percent faster on PCMark 10 Quick System Drive Benchmark vs the 5950X.”

Allyn didn’t test using the M.2 slots, he used a x16 slot with a riser card to make sure it was CPU attached on both platforms.
