Notes

The Core i9-11900 features 8 cores and 16 threads with 65W base TDP on Rocket Lake, boosting up to 5.2 GHz. This locked processor delivers flagship Rocket Lake performance without overclocking capability, offering improved IPC over 10th gen with PCIe 4.0 support. Despite the controversial core count reduction from 10th gen, it provides solid gaming performance with high boost clocks. Perfect for pre-built systems or users preferring locked processors. Generally overshadowed by both 10th and 12th gen alternatives, though capable when found at competitive pricing.
