New 11700k security vulnerabilities discovered!
I was checking PassMark recently and discovered this: the link provided shows a 11700K CPU with a 3.6 GHz base and 5 GHz boost, 8 cores, 16 threads, and a TDP of 125 watts. It seems quite powerful for an 8-core 16-thread CPU, especially compared to others in its class. You can see the details here: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu...Hz&id=3896. The single-threaded performance is reportedly the best among similar chips, even matching Zen 3. What do you think?
It doesn't look very promising at all. Only marginally better than 5800x on a single core. Likely the new chip will be pricier. If it's cheaper than 5800x, that’s possible, but probably not. I’m feeling a bit let down by this generation of intel. It seems 5800x offers only modest gains on multiple cores, so this might just be the gap between 3700x and 9700k.
It seems 9700K doesn't handle hyper-threading well, these two components clash a lot.
Absolutely. Back then, a 3700x model could be purchased 25% cheaper while maintaining similar gaming performance. We'll need to evaluate whether B560 boards and 11400/11600k chips are worth it. I think an 11400/16600k should offer solid value for the 11th generation. The 11900k should match the price of the 5900x, but with fewer cores and threads. The 11700k appears to be a strong competitor to the 5800x. AMD currently holds a good platform advantage. Affordable B450/B550 models with stock or aftermarket coolers would be ideal. At Intel right now, the B460 boards aren't great deals and their stock cooler isn't impressive. We'll have to check if the Intel platform is similarly priced or more expensive than AMD's.
It clearly displays a 16th generation design. I'm curious about how they managed to distinguish the i7 and i9 processors despite both having eight cores. If the main distinction lies in clock speed, then the i7 becomes significantly more compelling. It's refreshing to see some variety in CPU offerings again, especially after the letdown with Zen 3 pricing.
It looks unusual that the maximum clock speed is just 5GHz, which likely means it's another 14nm chip. This could indicate a misreport, but it probably still follows the same approach as before—just even harder. The 5800X performs well in multi-threaded tasks, suggesting it's not as efficient as a modern CPU. It might be relying more on its single core, which seems only slightly better than the 5800X. We'll need to see how this affects overall performance, especially since core efficiency appears weaker compared to AMD. The scaling from 2 to 4 cores seems limited, and the single core improvement is just about 0.6%.
It seems slightly improved compared to the 10th gen CPUs, though I believe Rocket Lake is outdated. The 10th generation offers strong multi-core performance, while the 11th may lag in single-core due to reduced cores and threads after Intel shifted Rocket Lake from 10nm to 14nm. I'm more curious about Alder Lake's performance details and how this new hybrid chip design will hold up, especially since Intel claims they finally introduced 10nm in just two years.
