ParentElemen
A decrease in core count
Does not really compete against AMD overall
Likely last generation on 14nm
Very high price for what's offered
Lower gaming performance than AMD Zen 3 and Core i9-10900K
Only eight cores (vs. ten on i9-10900K)
Application performance can't even match Ryzen 5800X

Core i9-11900K plus Z590 plus Adaptive Boost equals 5.1GHz on all cores, Intel finally supports PCIe Gen 4 on the desktop,
Power draw is too high, Cutting back to eight cores has hurt Rocket Lake, The confusion with Adaptive Boost looks like an own goal, The hassle with PCIe Gen 4 makes us wish Intel had gone with a new socket, UK pricing for Core i9-11900K gives AMD Ryzen 7
Intel Rocket Lake promised an end-to-end overhaul of the familiar Skylake architecture with just one small hitch as Intel continues to be stuck on a 14nm process and are unable to progress to 10nm.We have known that for quite some time and consider it one...

Great gaming performance, PCIe 4.0 support
Lackluster multi-threaded performance, Expensive, Gets hot, High power consumption
The Intel Core i9-11900K is a fine processor, but with so many amazing chips on the market right now, there's simply no reason to go with this processor, when you can get better performance for less cash elsewhere...
Genuinely Improved IPC, Hyperthreading across the stack, Potent choice for gaming, PCIe 4.0 from the CPU
14nm in 2021, Huge power use in optimal form, Fewer cores than last gen, Meagre overclocking potential, Chipset stuck on PCIe 3.0
Intel brings forth 11th Gen Core desktop processors armed with improved CPU cores and integrated graphics. Codenamed Rocket Lake-S and harnessing key architectures first presented in the mobile space - Sunny Cove cores and Xe graphics - Team Blue's latest...
Impressive Tubro/Velocity clock boost, Great single/multi-core performance, PCIe 4.0 ready
Requires new chipset to take full advantage of tech, At the very peak of thermal limit, Power consumption surpasses some HEDT chips
It hasn't even been 12 months since the release of Intel's 10th Gen processors and we're already being introduced to their successor – perhaps indicating that the battle for desktop domination is still well and truly on. The unveiling of the Intel Z490 ch...

The new Intel 11th Gen CPUs have launched alongside the new Z590 motherboards. Pairing the two together, we finally have features like PCIe 4.0 available on Intel-based systems. There is also an obvious per-core performance increase which is quite amazing...
Core-for-Core, the 11th Gen Processors are better than 10th Gen Intel processors, Intel Xe-LP Graphics shows a significant improvement over Intel Iris graphics
Core counts have gone down in the Core i9 segment, Power consumption is very high
Intel seems to have made some significant improvements core-for-core in 11th Gen processors over 10th Gen processors. However, the Intel Core i9-11900K is not a worthy upgrade but the Intel Core i5-10600K is. And the integrated graphics is certainly a gre...
Good looks, clean layout, Four M.2 slots, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, Stable performance, Well designed UEFI BIOS interface
Very expensive,
If things had gone according to plan for Intel many years ago, the 11th Gen Core family would have been a very different product, possibly based on a 7nm or even smaller process. Intel certainly wouldn't have wanted to regress in terms of core count for i...
Improved single-core performance, Native support for PCIe 4.0, New Adaptive Boost Technology, Excellent memory overclocking performance, Better compatibility for high-performance memory kits,
Cost more than its predecessor despite having a lower core count, Gaming performance isn't impressive at all, High power draw and runs hot, PCIe 4.0 for M.2 slot only available on the first slot
The 11th gen Intel Core processors can be seen as the completed version of what's supposed to be delivered on the previous generation Intel Core processors, notably the native support for PCIe 4.0 and DDR4-3200. While we can definitely see better performa...
Cypress Cove cores offers a good IPC boost, Can be overclocked for a nice improvement in multi-core performance, Offers Gear 2 mode for memory overclocking enthusiasts, ABT offers better multi-core performance with zero effort
Can be challenging to cool, Power draw can be a concern, Pricier than its predecessor with more cores
The Intel Core i9-11900K is a rather interesting product. It brings improved performance in several of our benchmarks, despite packing fewer cores. However it does not impress in our gaming benchmarks, despite gaming being a core target market for the 11t...
