Power efficiency on these is one of the worst of the decade. Overclocking is big no no. 6 score pushing 260W... 100W idle. Honestly i didn't believe it is even possible.

Ouch, better pony up for a premium grade cooler if you get one of these.

Completely underwhelming performance for the 11900k. And they want roughly $615 for it? Are you kidding me with that price tag?
iGPU + TB4 + AVX-512. For gamers there is 10700KF that is cheaper than 5800X. And 10700 that is cheaper than 5600X.

11900k sux, but it's better than people think with faster memory 🙂

But hey, this is a cpu for gaming right? Strange noone test rocketlake with faster memory. It even does 5866mhz xmp with g.skill prototype.

It will be a good buy in the winter. Who needs gas for heating ?

Screw this cpu, should have been 10 core minimum, 12 core if they wanted to try compete.(instead of just milking us)

terror_adagio:

Why are most reviews ignoring the new iGPU? I mean, we are in a GPU shortage right now you think that would be important.
Indeed you are correct. Perhaps many here are still "hanging-on" to their older discrete GPU waiting for the never-ending plight to go away? Or the return to the MSRP days. As such no need of importance given to the iGPU subject. Also many here are heavy gamers or power-users and a iGPU performance is in no need for discussion given their requirements and the little it does for their coveted frame-rates.

I got a taste of intel's new igpu power on my ice lake lappy, very impressive (mw2 the original 1080p smooth as butter)

Please find me test with full igpu load + cpu load. Socket will melt without proper cooling 😀

The 10900 is a better deal than the 11900k. 10 cores @ $379 at Amazon.
10900f wo. igpu for 350 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DYtKHx/intel-core-i9-10900f-28-ghz-10-core-processor-bx8070110900f

how much cpu power will you need to drive that igpu ? are you thinking or not ? apparently not.

For the performance difference you mind as well get a 10900k if you must stick with Intel. Or get the 5800x on AMD's side. There is no way $615 is sustainable MSRP for a 8 core monolithic die with that amount of latency and power requirements. Anyone who does buy it (as I do see stock) is spending stimchecks for it.
20 game average system power consumption. good grief.... +60w 10700k to 11700k Spoiler: "pwr"

60w more during gaming? That's worse than imaginated. Thats like powering extra 5600X. Terrible. Just stick to 10700kf or something similar. Skippylake.

see how much 5600x averages in 20 games,you might be surprised. I said it times and times before,you need 8/16 for best efficiency for gaming these days.6/12 has to work too hard.The only 65w cpu in that test in 10400f cause it's got a hard limit,it will not go over 65w.See the difference between 10400 and 5600x in gaming power draw in the chart I posted. stock 5600x can draw 95w easily in gaming.11600 will be even worse.

Great review Hilbert. My concern would be HEAT from all core OC. Summer is coming! Let's see what the REAL street price would be once we add in water cooler and fans to maintain that performance level. Anyone spot a test clock to clock or MAX OC to MAX OC vs any Ryzen? That is probably on everyone's mind.

Stock 5600X will never drwaw 95W , not my at least . I'm arunning 1.35v @ 4.7 all core now for test and im below 70W gaming. I call BS 🙂

Undying:

Every review site - waste of silicon Guru3d - recommended Eh.
At least 6700 XT didnt get one what a failed product. Bad MSRP that is . 11900k has great MSRP - top value.

When i saw 3060 got a recommended badge and now 11900k we should probably ignore it in the future. It means nothing at this point.
