Intel Core i9-11900K

[agentnathan009]

Wow, the latest and greatest from Intel ends up in the middle or upper echelon of benchmarks, and in some cases getting decimated by AMD 5000 series, I have not seen such a thing in a long time!

I would be afraid of tripping my main 150 amp breaker trying to run that scorching hot CPU!

The best part:

“

• 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”

I'm sorry, but, IMHO, this product makes absolutely no sense.

Wow, is this Intel's worst CPU series ever?

Na, other than the 11900k and maybe the 11700k the rest of the stack is pretty competitive and priced well.

• Only one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot, others are PCIe 3.0

What does this mean ? PCIE for GPU isn't 4.0 ? I mean does 11900K support PCIe 4.0 in GPU ?

 

[Metroid]

Intel is behaving like AMD has done from 2007 to 2018, surviving and nothing is going to change till their 7nm cpu.

BouahahaHAHAHAHAH!

The x16 slot will run at PCIe 4.0 (on 500-series chipset motherboards, and 400-series ones that support PCIe 4.0 readiness); but the platform only has one M.2 Gen 4 slot, the one wired to the processor. On the AMD platform, you can have up to three M.2 Gen 4 slots, on X570 motherboards (since the X570 puts out PCIe 4.0 general-purpose lanes).

Other M.2 slots. Reworded to "Only one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot, other M.2 are PCIe 3.0"

ah , Thanks

Where is the 19% IPC. Where is the pudding.

Really?

That's a shame. 11600K is of course cheaper than the 5600X. Slower in CPU performance, slower in games and consumes much more power. You can OC 5600 in B motherboards, you can't do that with the 11600K. B450 motherboards are compatible with Zen 3, B460 are not with RL. And the former (and even the B550) are (much) cheaper than B560.

To be fair 4th/6th/8th/9th/10th gen was all very stable for me so it was true till Rocketlake.

I was more amused by the fact that a lot people (not just here, but on other sites too) have made such a big deal about how great Intel's platform always is and this time they pulled an AMD it seems. I can't defend the fact that AMD has had sloppy launches with far from finished AGESA and UEFI implementations.

To be fair i haven't had any of the issues most have had with amd either....

1600/1700/2600/2700/3600/3700/3900/5800 have all worked excellent for me since the day I got them/built with them.... The only amd chip I had issues with was a 2400G being picky about ram

Best thing about Intel CPUs is you dont need a dGPU to make them work nor only limit your selection to APUs from AMD.

If youre building a computer right now and you dont already have a GPU then there is zero value in any AMD CPU currently.

 

[Octopuss]

Fail, as expected.

Not of this size.
It's pure wow.

 

[las]

I'm amazed that it does not perform better in gaming, considering the IPC increase. It's not "bad" tho, and AMD has supply issues, Intel does not, so guess it will sell regardless.

i9-11900K seems like a REALLY bad buy over i7-11700K.
32-33% higher price for pretty much nothing

Intel is smashing the OEM/Enterprise market these days (AMD can't supply AT ALL).
This is especially true for laptops. At work, I need to wait several weeks to recieve AMD 4000 based Thinkpad. I can get 100s of Intel based ones, day to day, in comparison.

If AMD was able to supply, Ryzen 5000 would have been a smash hit. Sadly it looks like supply is still bad, especially for 5900X and 5950X.
Intel is happy about this, I bet

Oh well. Not buying anything anyway. Next gen platforms in 2022/2023 with DDR5, PCIe 5.0 etc. My 9900K will live for a few more years. It's been great and still is. Glad to see the stock 9900K in benches doing very well. Can't wait to see Intel vs AMD in the coming years. This will be fun.

I hope Intel can bring some GPUs out soon, would be even more fun to see. I don't expect miracles for first gen but If they can DELIVER at MSRP prices it will sell unless performance is jawdropping bad.

FX9590 was a sort of mobile CPU eventually...

I had a lot of memory issues with my 1700, but that came down to having Corsair LPX modules I think.
My 3800X was not behaving at all initially, but I guess that's what I got for getting it on launch. Three months later and most issues was fixed. These days I'm having zero issues.
It's just that every Ryzen launch has had issues that have required several UEFI/AGESA updates to fix them.
Now it seems like Intel might be in the same boat...

As long as you're not getting the F SKUs...

My biggest issues with 1st and 2nd gen ryzen was the terrible mobo choices..... X570 is awesome though both the Ryzen Master and Hero 8 have been great to work with.

Well intel's not having supply issues means that the 10900KF, 10900F, and 10850K are available for much much less than these turdbuckets. I think that their biggest competition will be themselves lol.

 

[VSG]

Ah I must be the only one happy with this power hungry and hot CPU, seems nice for water block testing

 

[mechtech]

Hmmmm
Takeaways
-over 500 FPS csgo 1440p. Hey monitor makers where’s my 500fps gaming monitor???

-OC is basically trivial. So get a non K cpu and use coin for a good cooler

-get a 10700 cpu now instead on the cheap!!

I agree, but once 10th gen sells out the lower tier chips will be fine for most people.... anyone spending over $400 should stick to Ryzen 5000 at that point or wait for Alderlake/6000
