Much like the Core i9 11900K review, we face a similar conclusion. We wish we had a clean-cut simple conclusion and answer for you in your processor options, but never has there been so much competition on the desktop processor front to hand out a prefere...

Abstract: Rocket Lake is finally here and today we're checking out the new Core i5-11600K. That's right, for this generation we're skipping a day-one look at the Core i9 and even the Core i7 part, and instead are going straight to the more affordable Core i5. There...
Abstract: Not that long ago we took a long hard look at the Intel 10th generation Core i series and walked away fairly impressed. The combination of upwards of ten cores at blazing fast frequencies with rather reasonable price tags did make them a viable option. Th...

Strong single-threaded performance, Doubles most integrated-graphics results of equivalent 10th Generation Intel chips, Doesn't run too hot, Decent frame rates with a discrete video card, Aggressive pricing versus AMD's equivalent Ryzens
Not quite as fast as the Ryzen 5 5600X, New platform adoption is pricey, No bundled cooler
The midrange Core i5-11600K is a six-core, 11th Generation CPU just fast enough to keep Intel's new "Rocket Lake" chips in the game against tough AMD opposition...

Undercuts 5600X on price, High
Weak PCIe 4.0 support, Power hungry
Intel's making a real play for the volume end of the market with one of the best Core i5 chips it's released in a long time. The i5 11600K is a great mainstream gaming CPU that can get the most out of any graphics card you can pair it with...
11600K is precisely half the cost of 11900K; at $269 pre-order as I write this, this CPU would, in standard times, be $30 cheaper than 5600X, but with pandemic tax, it's $130 under the 5600X. It's hard to say how long this price disparity will last but re...
Manifest IPC improvement, Better stock levels than AMD, Improved IGP, PCIe 4.0 from the CPU
No cooler in box, Gaming not better than last-gen, Chipset stuck on PCIe 3.0
The Intel 11th Gen Core desktop range is a curious one. Requiring new motherboards to extract maximum performance and features but at the same time not offering a clear upgrade path, appeal is limited to a select band of customers who want to build a syst...

Great gaming performance, Affordable, Big generational jump, PCIe 4.0
Gets really hot, Consumes a lot of power
The Intel Core i5-11600K is an incredibly powerful processor for the money, but it comes with a downside. The high power consumption and temperatures make it to where you have to grab a beefier CPU cooler and power supply...
