The editors didn't like
Requires new chipset to take full advantage of tech
6-core, 12-thread, Great performance over its predecessor, Price, Overclocking and thermals are much more manageable, PCI-Express 4.0
Not on par with AMD's equivalent, No CPU cooler included
When we took a look at the Core i9-11900K we were a little disappointed, mainly for the fact that it just could not compete against AMD and really did not feel like a flagship product. With the mid-range Core i5-11600K Intel can redeem themselves at least...

Blimey that was a lot of testing.Clearly you can approach this processor in one of two ways. You can look at it as a member of the new 11th Gen Rocket Lake CPUs and be a little disappointed that it doesn't overclock past 5GHz, or that it's good but not ou...

Abstract: Whenever a new set of processors is launched we all look longingly at the top of the range model and then check our bank balance and realise we can only afford a model in the upper middle of the range. This is by no means an experience limited to proces...
High pricing, High power consumption, Needs CPU cooler, Eight cores, Lackluster threaded performance, Gear 2 Memory Mode, Limited PCIe 4.0 Support
The Core i9-11900K is impressive in gaming and lightly-threaded work, but it trails the Ryzen 9 5900X tremendously in threaded work and doesn't cement itself well enough in gaming to justify the premium price tag...

Intel's new 11th generation of their Core series of desktop CPUs has been an interesting one. Like with the 10th gen CPUs, the issues with dropping their manufacturing process down to a smaller node has caused this generation to once again be left at...

Strong single-threaded performance, Doubles most integrated-graphics results of equivalent 10th Generation Intel chips, Doesn't run too hot, Decent frame rates with a discrete video card, Aggressive pricing versus AMD's equivalent Ryzens
Not quite as fast as the Ryzen 5 5600X, New platform adoption is pricey, No bundled cooler
The midrange Core i5-11600K is a six-core, 11th Generation CPU just fast enough to keep Intel's new "Rocket Lake" chips in the game against tough AMD opposition...
Huge gains in low-threaded applications, Very competitively priced, Almost matches 8-core 10700K, Multiplier unlocked, New overclocking features, PCI-Express 4.0, Compatible with existing Z490 motherboards, Adaptive Boost simplifies overclocking, iGPU per
Lower gaming performance than AMD Zen 3, High power consumption, Lots of heat once power limit unlocked, Lacks Boost 3.0, Thermal Velocity Boost, Adaptive Boost, Only minimal software support for AVX-512 & DLBoost, Gear 1 memory mode unable to run modern
The i5-11600K is priced at around $275. Huge gains in low-threaded applications Very competitively priced Almost matches 8-core 10700K Multiplier unlocked New overclocking features PCI-Express 4.0 Compatible with existing Z490 motherboards Adaptive Boost...

Undercuts 5600X on price, High
Weak PCIe 4.0 support, Power hungry
Intel's making a real play for the volume end of the market with one of the best Core i5 chips it's released in a long time. The i5 11600K is a great mainstream gaming CPU that can get the most out of any graphics card you can pair it with...
