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.

Solid part for low tdp requirements
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well in my vr rig. Needed a low wattage and tdp part for my mini itx vr rig and this fit the bill nicely. Performance is as expected and turbos nicely.
I would recommend this to a friend Great cpu!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great cpu. Check to make sure the size fits your motherboard. I've noticed that only processors that end in the letter F fit a RENO2 motherboard.

Great CPU
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from an old Xeon 1240v2, this thing is a monster. 8c 16t performance. However, I strongly recommend you upgrade the cooler. OEM one is small and can get loud under load.

8 Years Later - I'm staying with Intel
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After my last build 8 years ago with an i7-4400, it was time to upgrade, I went with the new i7, way more than what I need to hopefully last another 8-10 years. It's overkill for my needs, but it should last for years to come. It was a bit pricier than it should be, especially when compared to AMDs offerings, but I'm an Intel guy, so I went with what I like.

Uprgraded my pc
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.my pc broke but I bought new parts and this happened to be one of them. works good, no complaints
I would recommend this to a friend Octacore than runs hot
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite being an i7, this chip runs hot. My i5 11400 performs better for games like age of empires and the conquerors. Comes with a basic cooler. I only recommend this chip to someone that really wants to have an intel CPU. Also the integrated graphics are basic. If you are thinking to do multitasking, this is a good choice.
