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.

I'd suggest not entering in a battle of wits if you are not prepared and turn up empty handed.
If you don't know them: then, kindly, read them over.
Also, don't get involved in the violations... report them.
Any more violations will be dealt with.

Jesus wept.
Not so sure on this Intel design... I wonder if all the Youtuber's will get the black small box with some foam inside or if they will stretch to the retail packaging...... Ah well, all the fuss over the box is slightly worrying if your meant to be thinking about the performance of a CPU..... just my 2 pence...
You'd want to keep that box for at least 3 years seeing that is the warranty period and without it no rma.
