PCIe 4.0 ready
Genuinely Improved IPC
Hyperthreading across the stack
Potent choice for gaming
PCIe 4.0 from the CPU
Great gaming performance
PCIe 4.0 support
The absolute best CPU gaming performance
Support for PCIe 4.0
Core i9-11900K plus Z590 plus Adaptive Boost equals 5.1GHz on all cores
Intel finally supports PCIe Gen 4 on the desktop
The editors didn't like
Requires new chipset to take full advantage of tech
At the very peak of thermal limit
Power consumption surpasses some HEDT chips
14nm in 2021
Huge power use in optimal form
Fewer cores than last gen
Meagre overclocking potential
Chipset stuck on PCIe 3.0
Lackluster multi-threaded performance
Expensive
Gets hot
High power consumption
Very high price
Only marginally more powerful than cheaper alternatives
Multi-threaded performance can't compete with AMD
Power draw is too high
Cutting back to eight cores has hurt Rocket Lake
The confusion with Adaptive Boost looks like an own goal
The hassle with PCIe Gen 4 makes us wish Intel had gone with a new socket
In our launch day review of Intel's Rocket Lake processors back in March, we dived into the defining factors of Intel backporting its 10nm into a working and usable 14nm desktop product. While the overall reception was mixed from media and users alike whe...
After last week's reveal of Tiger Lake-H, today's results put things into context for Intel's new high-end enthusiast mobile platform. The new design follows roughly 8 months after our initial coverage of the lower power “regular” Tiger Lake design and SK...

The Intel Core i9 11900K kept Intel in the competition zone. The performance is better than the previous gen and is still capable of providing enough processing power for your games and work. Related articlesGigabyte AORUS RGB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 4800MHz M...

Abstract: The P-State and CPUFreq "performance" governors on Linux with desktop Intel/AMD processors can be of help for gaming and other select workloads by tending to keep the CPU clock frequencies higher than the default ondemand (CPUFreq) or powersave (P-State)...
Great single-threaded performance, New Adaptive Boost technology, PCIe Gen4 support from the CPU
A decrease in core count, Does not really compete against AMD overall, Likely last generation on 14nm
Well this has been an interesting review. Typically when we review a flagship Intel desktop processor it is at the top of our charts and has increased in core count, but with the Core i9-11900K neither of those things are true. As I mentioned in the begin...

How much does the promise of 5 GHz all-core frequencies affect your opinion of Intel's 11th Gen launch? IPC gains were already significant over 10th Gen Core desktop, but AMD's single and multi-threaded performance is so good with Zen 3 that Intel has mor...
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...

Abstract: The Core i9-11900K is Intel's flagship offering in their new Rocket Lake-S desktop CPU series. Earlier this week we reviewed another new Rocket Lake processor, the mid-range Core i5-11600K and found it to be a decent offering. Although at the MSRP it's no...
Intel Adaptive Boost Technology was found to significantly improve overall performance on heavily threaded applications when Intel limits are not being enforced. Enabling Intel Adaptive Boost in conjunction with ASUS MCE yielded some impressive performanc...

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...
