Intel Core i9-11900K "Rocket Lake" to Feature i9-9900K-like Fancy Retail Package
Intel's upcoming flagship desktop processor, the Core i9-11900K, is expected to feature a fancy retail package, much like the original Core i9-9900K. VideoCardz just tweeted a teaser shot of what looks like an acrylic retail package of the chip, with its prominent i9 branding, in Intel's favorite shade of blue. Unlike the i9-10900K, which has a mostly paperboard box with a large acrylic window, the i9-11900K package appears to be entirely made of hard plastic, and an unknown geometric shape. We'll know a lot more as we creep toward the mid-March launch of these chips.
Update 10:18 UTC: Here it is, the i9-11900K retail package in all its glory. It's mostly a cuboid, but with numerous trapezoid shapes. The i9-11900KF, however, gets a basic paperboard box sans cooler, while the "locked" i9-11900 has a slightly larger paperboard box that has a boxed cooler.

Guess cyberpunk 2077 design was dumped lol
Indeed surprised the new intel box doesn't look like a Kentucky Fried Chicken box they love the Initials so much :cool:
Back on topic -- I wonder if this design was made possible by UPS manhandling an original square 11900K box, and Intel ended up liking it so much they decided to make it "special edition"? :D :roll:
Intel’s competitor is not just AMD, but also their own Alder Lake since it’s expected to launch this year.
This reminds me of Lays, I bet there will be 90%
