Dont buy UNLESS you already have a lga 1200 mb
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although outdated from lga 1700 and wouldnt recommend buying for that reason, if you have a lga 1200 motherboard ready this is a great cpu i was running it for about 2 years fully overclocked (liquid aio) and only upgraded because im more of a enthusiast builder, cpu still works great and it easily has a few more years in it plus i have yet to find a game it couldnt handle (besides city skylines 2 for obvious reason) it pairs wonderfully with a gigabyte 3060 12gb overclocked at 1080 and 1440 you could most definitely get a better graphics card thats just what i had at the time you might want to run at 4k though if you looking to go up to higher 30 or 40 series rtx cards look into running 4k puts less strain on the cpu and can eliminate a gpu bottleneck(i would include testbench scores but it’s no longer in any computer)

Great cpu for 1200 lga motherboards
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This cpu is great I haven’t had any issues with it since I’ve had it (1.5 years). I tried the i9 1200 lga version and there wasn’t much of a noticeable performance upgrade so I stuck with this one.

Really enjoy it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from a 10100, you can really feel the difference in performance in the chip, its basically night and day. I honestly cant find a reason to choose the K series version of this model.

New life to my old computer!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded my old CPU to this, and it is a godsend! I'm glad I was able to purchase it on sale! It definitely enhanced my photography and videography workspace! Excellent with gaming as well! Again, I would hesitate to buy it at the total price, but it was definitely worth it on sale!

Perfect for small build
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great processor still running strong 3 years later. Perfect for my tiny build with plenty of muscle to run anything I need gaming or editing. Just because it’s older don’t count it out.

Disappointment
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this CPU to upgrade an existing system with a 10700. For some workloads, this CPU has a 13% uplift over the old one. There are several compatibility issues though. 11th gen was a new core design and has some features removed. It no longer supports the memory enclave features that 10th gen has, and that is not secure anymore anyway. It also has some compatibility issues with vmware esxi 8.x. I am using this for a homelab virtualization box and this forced me to format and change my host OS. This chip also seems to be unreliable with XMP profiles enabled in the bios. I've tried 3 brands of RAM in it. No dice even though they're listed on the motherboard compatibility list. (using with asus tuf mb) I also own a 11900k and it's been awesome as a linux desktop chip. It doesn't have issues with XMP. (different asus motherboard) Finally, watch out for motherboard compatibility. Check beforehand. I had to purchase a new motherboard. As far as performance goes, this chip is pretty fast at compiling software.

Intel® XMP Certified memory modules have been tested on specific motherboards using specified processors. Intel® XMP Certified modules are included in the Intel® XMP Memory for Intel® Core™ processors datasheet.

Solid part for low tdp requirements
