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...
