We're back at eight Cypress Cove cores, this we test a cheaper priced model, the Core i7 11700KF. Suffixes; K means it is unlocked, that F means better value as you can shave off a few bucks, this processor does not have its integrated graphics activated, and as such it has an MSRP of 380 USD. Will it be enough to take on the Ryzen 7 5800X battle?

Still rather have the 5800x.
Intel still with shitty SKUs.
5800x is faster and uses less power, its a no brainer.

Kinda stupid how it uses more power than the 11700K overall (which is already too high). But at least the price is more reasonable.
I too would much rather get a 5800X - it is a more obvious choice.

but don't be silly it's on top of the gaming charts it is a good processor, not the best but still a very good one to have
that said I'd still recommend an Intel to a non-geek who wants something that just works, AMD is a bit too complicated for a non intermediate-advanced user, not everyone is a guru3d reader
real quote from a colleague : "when I start the computer I have the logo of the motherboard brand on the monitor is that what you call bios ?"

Except it's not at the top. It only tops some charts, and even then, the performance difference is unnoticeable. So it's pretty silly to use that as a reason to validate it, when you consider all the downsides.
If someone isn't a geek, they're probably going to buy an OEM PC, at which point the steeper learning curve of AMD is moot.
