Key Features and Benefits of 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors

  • Innovative new architectures
  • Revolutionary Intel® Xe graphics
  • Intelligent performance
  • Faster, more reliable connectivity
  • Advanced overclocking
  • Built for business

Enhance Performance and Game Control

The 11th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors redefine performance and tuning for top-tier gaming with a new CPU architecture, AI-based acceleration, enhanced overclocking capabilities, memory speeds up to DDR4-3200, 20 CPU PCIe 4.0 lanes, and much more.

Boost Your Creative Performance

Smart performance powered by Artificial Intelligence, stunning Intel® Xe graphics, enhanced tuning options, and more come together in 11th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors to boost creative productivity, accelerating photo and video editing and graphic design tasks.

Game for the masses.

The efficient multi-threaded performance of Intel Core 11thGen processors allows you to maximize stream quality and maintain high FPS during gameplay.

What does a 19% improvement in IPC mean?

A leap in IPC means that your processor works smarter, not harder. It does more work in each clock cycle, which translates to higher FPS in games and smoother performance in applications. While the IPC measurement may not be familiar to everyone, it is another way to understand why 11th generation CPUs excel in gaming.

What is Resizable BAR?

The Resizable BAR, recently supported in the 11th generation, is a PCIe feature that can provide a free boost to game performance in certain titles. It changes the way your CPU works with your GPU, potentially unlocking a few extra percentage points of FPS. This is achieved by allowing your CPU to access more data simultaneously.

What is DDR-3200 RAM support?

The 11th generation helps you get more out of your memory. Motherboards now officially support RAM speeds up to 3200MHz and feature advanced overclocking options to help you fine-tune your memory.

Adding more RAM capacity helps you run more programs simultaneously (or meet the requirements for AAA games that demand a lot of memory). Upgrading to faster RAM, on the other hand, improves the speed at which your CPU retrieves data from memory.

Upgrading from 2933MHz RAM to 3200MHz can offer an increase in FPS in gaming, although this varies depending on the game, your system, and your graphics settings.

What is PCIe 4.0?

PCIe 4.0 support means you'll be ready for the next generation of GPUs and SSDs.

PCIe is the expansion bus you use to connect graphics cards, NVMe SSDs, and peripheral devices like capture cards to your motherboard. 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors support PCIe 4.0, a version that provides double the bandwidth compared to 3.0.

PCIe 4.0 support means you'll be ready to upgrade to the latest Gen 4 SSD or GPU as the technology matures. 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors also provide up to 20 CPU PCIe lanes, which offer a more direct connection between the CPU, GPU, and NVMe SSD.

What is AV1?

Improved multimedia playback is another hallmark of the 11th generation. With support for new video formats and high bit-rate HDR video, the CPUs make it easier to watch content with immersive and detailed imagery and to create it yourself.

To provide an enhanced viewing experience, the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors feature hardware support for 12-bit HEVC decoding and 10-bit AV1 decoding. The 12-bit and 10-bit are different color standards for HDR (high dynamic range), which allow for vibrant hues and deep black levels when viewed on an HDR display.

    Really very good!
    It doesn't lag anywhere, great job by Intel!
    As for temperatures, I'm not talking... with Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 ~25-30 C while browsing.
    In heavy gaming, it barely reaches 45 C after many hours.
    For rendering, I think they have made a huge leap! It works much faster and efficiently even with 2 cores missing.

    When the 10900K outperforms the 11900K in almost everything, you can't call it an achievement.... but rather a tragedy or comedy.... Let's not forget that the "new" 11900K has 2 LESS CORES than the "old" 10900K... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxiuvQPL_qs

    With the 11600K, maybe your money would have made more sense in the sense that they approach what you really get.

    I have it with z590 asus tuf and rtx 3060 minimal difference in games max 5-7 fps from the 10900k I had.
    Temperatures are very high, which is a bit strange because I have 19 fans in the case and multitasking is negative (also, in turboboost it draws 250w, even if it were a threadripper).
    I had more fps with the 10900k when I had Spotify and a browser open in the background.
    In no case is it worth its current price, wait a month for it to drop at least.

    From old fanboys.......New generation intel like z590 motherboards. I paired it with msi z590 godlike and nzxt z73. Firstly, compared to the 10th generation, it definitely has much better integrated graphics, which is useless for most of us. Unfortunately, it has 8 cores compared to the 10th generation's 10 cores, which may bother some people, but for gaming, you don't need many cores. Now, in combination with asus strix 3090 oc, there is not much difference compared to the 10th generation (for example, in warzone, there was a difference of maximum 5 fps on max settings). It just supports pcie 4.0 (you combine it with a graphics card, motherboard, and nvme pcie 4.0) which again, the speeds compared to pcie 3.0 are approximately 4% higher, you barely notice it. As a long-time user of many intel processors, I have to say that they are not interested in surpassing amd in performance, they are simply interested in us buying their products just for the brand. Despite all this, it is a power-hungry processor, great for overclocking, perfect for gaming, amazing temperatures with a good liquid cooling, lightning-fast in everything, and very expensive, which is logical since they just released. 10 out of 10 for the 11900k from me, and hoping that the next generation surpasses every intel and amd processor.

    Really very good!
    It doesn't lag anywhere, great job by Intel!
    As for temperatures, I'm not talking... with Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 ~25-30 C while browsing.
    In heavy gaming, it barely reaches 45 C after many hours.
    For rendering, I think they have made a huge leap! It works much faster and efficiently even with 2 cores missing.

    When the 10900K outperforms the 11900K in almost everything, you can't call it an achievement.... but rather a tragedy or comedy.... Let's not forget that the "new" 11900K has 2 LESS CORES than the "old" 10900K... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxiuvQPL_qs

    With the 11600K, maybe your money would have made more sense in the sense that they approach what you really get.

    I have it with z590 asus tuf and rtx 3060 minimal difference in games max 5-7 fps from the 10900k I had.
    Temperatures are very high, which is a bit strange because I have 19 fans in the case and multitasking is negative (also, in turboboost it draws 250w, even if it were a threadripper).
    I had more fps with the 10900k when I had Spotify and a browser open in the background.
    In no case is it worth its current price, wait a month for it to drop at least.

    From old fanboys.......New generation intel like z590 motherboards. I paired it with msi z590 godlike and nzxt z73. Firstly, compared to the 10th generation, it definitely has much better integrated graphics, which is useless for most of us. Unfortunately, it has 8 cores compared to the 10th generation's 10 cores, which may bother some people, but for gaming, you don't need many cores. Now, in combination with asus strix 3090 oc, there is not much difference compared to the 10th generation (for example, in warzone, there was a difference of maximum 5 fps on max settings). It just supports pcie 4.0 (you combine it with a graphics card, motherboard, and nvme pcie 4.0) which again, the speeds compared to pcie 3.0 are approximately 4% higher, you barely notice it. As a long-time user of many intel processors, I have to say that they are not interested in surpassing amd in performance, they are simply interested in us buying their products just for the brand. Despite all this, it is a power-hungry processor, great for overclocking, perfect for gaming, amazing temperatures with a good liquid cooling, lightning-fast in everything, and very expensive, which is logical since they just released. 10 out of 10 for the 11900k from me, and hoping that the next generation surpasses every intel and amd processor.
