The editors liked
Impressive Tubro/Velocity clock boost
Great single/multi-core performance
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
Huge gains in low-threaded applications, 8 RKL cores often faster than 10 CML cores, Higher application performance than Core i9-10900K, Multiplier unlocked, New overclocking features, PCI-Express 4.0, Compatible with existing Z490 motherboards, Adaptive
Very high price for what's offered, Lower gaming performance than AMD Zen 3 and Core i9-10900K, Only eight cores (vs. ten on i9-10900K), Application performance can't even match Ryzen 5800X, High power consumption, Lots of heat once power limit unlocked,
The i9-11900K is priced at US$539 in 1,000-unit tray quantities, which should put its retail starting price around $550. Huge gains in low-threaded applications 8 RKL cores often faster than 10 CML cores Higher application performance than Core i9-10900K...
The Intel Core i9-11900K has impressive single-threaded performance. In the vast majority of the single-threaded workloads it blew away the other processors and was clearly the champ. The performance result in our Dolpin emulator benchmark was absolutely...

Die-hard gamers and Intel loyalists can safely opt for the "Rocket Lake" Core i9-11900K, Intel's mainstream 11th Generation flagship desktop CPU. But a regression in core count and only modest performance upside add luster to AMD Ryzen 5000 and Intel 10...

A startlingly unnecessary CPU, one that only serves Intel's own designs and not actual PC gamers. Its specs feel weaker than the last-gen flagship, it's more expensive, and has a thirstier core at its 14nm heart...
What is 11th-gen Rocket Lake?Thanks to endless leaks, almost everything you need to know about Rocket Lake-S is already out there. The gist is that Rocket Lake is the last lap for Intel's aging 14nm manufacturing process, first introduced in 2014—yes, sev...
Like all things, the impact of Rocket Lake's power consumption depends on what you do. For most gaming and general use, the uptick is not a big deal. However, if you intend to hammer all cores on your PC all of the time, Rocket Lake will exact a heavy tol...
We wish we had a clean-cut simple conclusion and answer for you in your processor options, but never has there been so much competition on the desktop processor front to hand out a preference to either brand. However, with Rocket Lake, Intel not just incr...
