  • Key Specs
    • Processor Socket: Socket LGA 1200 (Type of pin configuration that connects a CPU to a computer’s motherboard.)
    • PCI Express Version: PCI Express 4.0
    • CPU Base Clock Frequency: 3.5 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The average rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks under normal operating conditions as asserted by the manufacturer.)
    • CPU Boost Clock Frequency: 5.1 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The maximum rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks, typically only used for a short period of time as needed. This rate may temporarily boost the processor's performance, but may result in overheating, shutdown, or damage to equipment if sustained.)
    • Number of CPU Cores: 8-core (A core, or "brain" of a CPU, allows it to receive and execute instructions. Each core can work independently or together to perform parallel operations.)

  • User documentation

Q: Will the i9-11900k be available in stores or online only on release 3/30?

A: Just like the AMD 5000 series, NVIDIA 3000 series, next gen consoles, etc. it's very safe to assume this product will only launch online and won't be available in stores until stock is plentiful.

Q: What time on 03/30/21 is the i9 dropping?

A: According to Intel, at 9 AM EDT

Q: When will this be in stock?

A: Best Buy has not announced an intention to offer this chip for pre-order and has an availability date for 3/30. You can safely assume it will be available on 3/30.

Q: When will the Intel 11900K CPU be in stock?

A: Most likely a couple weeks but max 2 months

Q: I have motherboard ASUS - ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI Socket LGA 1200 USB 3.2 Intel Motherboard does this chip fit my motherboard?

A: Yes. The LGA1200 11th Gen i9 processor will fit your LGA1200 Motherboard. The 12th Gen and up will not.

Q: Is this compatible with the B560M DS3H Motherboard? If not which core would you recommend?

A: Yes it is because that motherboard is 11th and 12th compatible
