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?

5800x at 400$. Why even consider anything else?

because there is no point in testing worse, but more expensive cpu that would yield the same results as the non F counterpart.
5600x is arrogantly priced, and AMD should not be rewarded for doing that. (IMHO). And to even consider 5600x you would need to have one of the GPUs that you currently only can get from scalpers for over $2000...

edit: Sorry, I misread - 5800x for $400? wow, get them all and resell them at $600 ez. (don't get me wrong, your reasoning is on spot, if masses can have those CPUs at $400, 5600x should be ignored completely.)

Pretty sure RL prices will go down considerably over time, likely sooner than later. Not seen any 5800x for $400, currently still at around $440+ most places.

Got 10900f @ $349. Price climbed back up not long after the RL reviews.

Poland :

5800X : ~450E
11700k/kf ( priced almost same) : 425E.

I would pay that 25 Extra for ryzen , you can even use it with stock cooling and it's better overall performer.

11400f is great deal from Intel right now , 11700 is not.
