    This went into a new build I was doing to replace another pre-built PC with an i7. It's obvious that this i7, which was recommended to me on a site that was comparing whether it was worth forking over extra for i9 vs. i7 vs. i5, is a leap forward in efficiency of processing. For the record, my workflow involves a lot of high quality audio/video creation and processing, including 1080p/60 live streams to multiple sources. The software I use can either leverage software, tap into the onboard graphics, or use the nVidia card, but the old PC had a less-than-optimal 760 that wasn't going to cut it. This new PC has an RTX 2080, so NVENC should be doable now, but I also wanted to be able to offload to onboard interchangeably whenever it made sense. For this I needed the CPU to be able to thread more efficiently than the previous, and in this it serves very well.

    Good CPU, The Intel Core i7-11700K offers excellent performance for an eight-core chip, but its pricing makes it the last resort that you should only buy if competing chips are out of stock and you need an eight-core chip specifically for productivity.

    Great performance and with the right cooling solution, pretty good thermals. I’m running on a z590 board over clocked, and with the Corsair h150i I stay around 75 Celsius even with extended gaming sessions.
