Notes
The Core i9-11900F offers 8 cores and 16 threads without integrated graphics on Rocket Lake, boosting up to 5.2 GHz. This locked processor provides flagship Rocket Lake performance at reduced cost for users with discrete GPUs. Despite improved IPC and PCIe 4.0 support, it shares Rocket Lake's controversial legacy of reduced cores versus 10th gen. Perfect for gaming builds using dedicated graphics. Generally considered less appealing than 10th or 12th gen alternatives, though decent value when found at aggressive pricing.
