Intel 11th Gen Core i7-11700KF Rocket Lake Processor

Intel Core i7-11700KF Processor new 11th gen Rocket Lake microarchitecture is manufactured with the 14nm process that comes with 8cores and 16 threads. These Processors also support 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires an Intel x86-64 (64 bit) architecture-enabled BIOS. As this chip is updated to the latest BIOS revision, it nicely fits into any Intel 400 and 500 series motherboards. Focusing on this, all the major motherboard manufacturers have already started BIOS updates for their 400 and 500 series lineup.

Core Benefits of the Processor

Intel 11th Generation Core i7-11700KF Processor having the base frequency of 3.60 GHz that can be reached as max turbo frequency at 5.00GHz. The processor has a compatibility socket of LGA 1200 that is supported by 400 and 500 series Intel motherboards. It has a SmartCache of 16 MB containing 8 cores and 16 threads. With a bus speed of 8 GT/s, it has thermal design power (TDP) rating of 95W. This latest microchip has few expansion options such as 4.0 PCI express revision having configured up to 1×16+1×4, 2×8+1×4, 1×8+3×4, and a maximum of 20 lanes. Considering the memory this processor has a dual-channel of max 128GB of the size that supports up to DDR4-3200 bus speed.

Intel  Core i7-11700KF Review

Intel’s Core i7-11700KF, which should be part of the next-gen Rocket Lake family of desktop chips scheduled to launch in early 2021, has been spotted in a game benchmark, with the specs seemingly being not that different to the flagship Core i9-11900K – at least not on the face of it.

Assuming it’s genuine (as ever), the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark shows the Core i7-11700KF – theoretically, a version of the 11700K CPU with no integrated graphics (which is what the ‘F’ denotes) – recording a score of 11,300 at 1440p (‘crazy’ preset), paired with an Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card.

Ashes of the Singularity is not a particularly well-regarded benchmark – though it’s often seen as a common source of early hardware leaks such as this – and making comparisons with it is considered pretty shaky ground. So we wouldn’t read much into the actual result, but the 11700KF equals the Ryzen 5600X with an identical score.

At any rate, what’s of real interest here is the specs, which show that the Core i7-11700KF is an 8-core (16-thread) chip, just like the purported flagship 11900K, and it’ll have a base clock of 3.6GHz – which is actually higher than the 3.5GHz that speculation pegs the 11900K as having. If you think that’s an eye-opener, it’s the same story with Comet Lake – the 10700K runs 100MHz faster than the 10900K. However, the Comet Lake flagship offers two more cores, which isn’t the case with Rocket Lake, as both chips here are 8-core.
