Indeed very good job intel. You lost two cores and you lost to amd once again. Thats a progress right there. Next please.
Sometimes you got to go back to actually move forward.
...
But not here 😀 This baby is pulling more watts than AMD with twice the number of cores, go figure.
Underwhelming. The performance is good but no better than the 10xxx series and Ryzen is still a little faster. No point on talking about the power figures, they are terrible and everyone knows it.
The saving grace could be availability and better prices than Ryzen, otherwise no point on buying this.
Personally, i think it´s better to buy a 10xxx series CPU at a lower price than this ones unless someone really needs PCI4.
Great review as always!
Ugh not this nonsense again...
Why is everyone here so obsessive about a few FPS at 720p as though that defines a product? Just a couple years ago when AMD was trailing by a larger margin in gaming, you were the kind of person dismissing that. So was I, because we both know well that there's more to a CPU than average FPS in a game. The difference here is I don't suddenly change my mind about it just because of who is barely ahead in games.
I don't deny that these 11th gens are overall failures due to the power consumption (which I already pointed out myself). I think I made that pretty clear in my previous post. These aren't the Zen3 killers Intel was trying to make but at least it's not yet another pre-overclocked Skylake. That would have been a total failure.
Man! It's not me, it's Intel... They advertised RL to be the generation to get the "King of gaming" title back to themselves. I really don't give a s.it if AMD or Intel is 5% faster in gaming in FHD with the current highend GPU. But if You remember, when Intel had this advantage against Zen, Zen Plus or Zen 2, the blue fans were saying Intel is worth every extra penny as it's the king of gaming. Now, that's exactly the same for Zen 3 and I hope those guys still think and say the same. 🙂
the most impressive thing about Rocket Lake to me is the work HH has put into reviewing it.
i feel sorry for all of the people who unintentionally buy this as part of a new oem system thinking they're getting the best.
Completely underwhelming performance for the 11900k. And they want roughly $615 for it? Are you kidding me with that price tag?
For the performance difference you mind as well get a 10900k if you must stick with Intel. Or get the 5800x on AMD's side.
There is no way $615 is sustainable MSRP for a 8 core monolithic die with that amount of latency and power requirements. Anyone who does buy it (as I do see stock) is spending stimchecks for it.
Power efficiency on these is one of the worst of the decade. Overclocking is big no no. 6 score pushing 260W... 100W idle.
Honestly i didn't believe it is even possible.
11900k sux, but it's better than people think with faster memory 🙂
But hey, this is a cpu for gaming right?
Strange noone test rocketlake with faster memory. It even does 5866mhz xmp with g.skill prototype.
Why are most reviews ignoring the new iGPU? I mean, we are in a GPU shortage right now you think that would be important.
Indeed you are correct. Perhaps many here are still "hanging-on" to their older discrete GPU waiting for the never-ending plight to go away? Or the return to the MSRP days. As such no need of importance given to the iGPU subject. Also many here are heavy gamers or power-users and a iGPU performance is in no need for discussion given their requirements and the little it does for their coveted frame-rates.
Please find me test with full igpu load + cpu load. Socket will melt without proper cooling 😀
how much cpu power will you need to drive that igpu ?
are you thinking or not ? apparently not.

20 game average system power consumption.
good grief....
+60w 10700k to 11700k
Spoiler: "pwr"

60w more during gaming? That's worse than imaginated. Thats like powering extra 5600X.
Terrible. Just stick to 10700kf or something similar. Skippylake.
see how much 5600x averages in 20 games,you might be surprised.
I said it times and times before,you need 8/16 for best efficiency for gaming these days.6/12 has to work too hard.The only 65w cpu in that test in 10400f cause it's got a hard limit,it will not go over 65w.See the difference between 10400 and 5600x in gaming power draw in the chart I posted.
stock 5600x can draw 95w easily in gaming.11600 will be even worse.
