Intel Launches 11th Gen Core "Rocket Lake": Unmatched Overclocking and Gaming Performance
The 11th Gen Intel Core S-series desktop processors (code-named "Rocket Lake-S") launched worldwide today, led by the flagship Intel Core i9-11900K. Reaching speeds of up to 5.30 GHz with Intel Thermal Velocity Boost, the Intel Core i9-11900K delivers even more performance to gamers and PC enthusiasts.
Engineered on the new Cypress Cove architecture, 11th Gen Intel Core S-series desktop processors are designed to transform hardware and software efficiency and increase raw gaming performance. The new architecture brings up to 19% gen-over-gen instructions per cycle (IPC) improvement for the highest frequency cores and adds Intel UHD graphics featuring the Intel Xe graphics architecture for rich media and intelligent graphics capabilities. That matters because games and most applications continue to depend on high-frequency cores to drive high frame rates and low latency.
With its new 11th Gen desktop processors, Intel continues to push desktop gaming performance to the limits and deliver the most amazing immersive experiences for players everywhere.
At the top of the stack is the 11th Gen Intel Core i9-11900K, featuring unmatched performance with up to 5.3 gigahertz, eight cores, 16 threads and 16 megabytes of Intel Smart Cache. The unlocked 11th Gen Intel Core desktop processor supports fast memory speeds with DDR4-3200 to help enable smooth gameplay and seamless multitasking on this platform.
Improvements in this generation include:
Superior Tuning and Stability: 11th Gen Intel Core desktop processors introduce new overclocking tools and features for more flexible tuning to achieve unmatched speeds and superior game performance. This generation includes real-time memory overclocking which enables changes to DDR4 frequency in real time, extending memory overclocking support for H570 and B560 chipsets allowing users to experience overclocking, Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) 2 and AVX-512 voltage guard band override, and an all new integrated memory controller with wider timings and Gear 2 support (in addition to Gear 1 support).
Media and Streaming Features for Days: The new 11th Gen Intel Core S-series delivers rich media experiences, from AAA gaming to high-definition streaming with additional features including DDR4-3200 MHz support, 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes, Intel Quick Sync Video, enhanced media (10-bit AV1/12bit high-efficiency video coding decode and end-to-end compression), enhanced display (Integrated HDMI 2.0, HBR3), and discrete Thunderbolt 4 and Intel Wi-Fi 6E support.

In other words it's crap without it, and only lasts a few seconds at best.
This story that you are trying to project that intel is for the poors is laughable at best.
All the poor people should be thanking AMD for being able to buy intel chips for a good price. :laugh: That's the biggest conclusion I came up with reading this thread Intel is now for poor people... Unless you want a decent Z590 board cuz those start around 300 :laugh:

Now they're on the defensive -- lowering prices so people will go and buy their CPUs instead, which in itself is not a bad thing. Lower prices is good for our wallets. I now wish Alder Lake would be good so AMD can do the same. Processors from both sides are more than enough to accomplish every task you need them to.
But saying that Intel is for the poor is... factually incorrect. They weren't up until Zen 3 appeared. Going by your logic, you're going to be yapping about how Intel is suddenly "declaring war on poor people" when they get the upper hand, increase prices, and AMD is forced to lower prices until they cook something up that can fight back.
Yes, that 10400F might be cheap... but whats a board cost that doesnt lock your ram speeds down, vs any old B450 board that can run any ryzen?

When company A has a higher performing product than company B they will price it as such. There is also supply and demand in the market which affects pricing. Intel like AMD are both publicly traded companies, they cannot offer products that are superior for cheap prices, they have shareholders to answer to not just you a consumer buying the products. They can get sued by their investors which can also tank share prices this game is bigger than you trying to save $40 bucks.
When intel has a superior product you can be sure they will price it as such, and your Intel for the poors argument goes out the window. I don't think you understand how any of this works and maybe time for a new hobby? A PS5 will be much cheaper and fit your budget.
