Notes

The Core i7-11700K features 8 cores and 16 threads on Rocket Lake architecture, boosting up to 5.0 GHz with unlocked multiplier. This CPU delivered solid gaming and productivity performance with improved IPC over 10th gen. While Rocket Lake introduced PCIe 4.0 support, the generation is generally considered a transitional step before Alder Lake. Despite improved single-threaded performance, it faced competition from both AMD and Intel's own 10th/12th gen options. Suitable for users who found good pricing or needed PCIe 4.0 before 12th gen availability.
