Notes

The Core i5-11600KF offers 6 cores and 12 threads with unlocked multiplier minus integrated graphics on Rocket Lake. Boosting up to 4.9 GHz, it delivers solid gaming performance identical to the 11600K at reduced cost. This processor provides improved IPC over 10th gen with PCIe 4.0 support for users with discrete GPUs. While Rocket Lake had mixed reception, it offers decent value at competitive prices. Suitable for gaming builds using discrete GPUs that needed 11th gen features before Alder Lake availability.
