Intel Core i7-11700K Review: Blasting Off with Rocket Lake

Yup basically a disaster, but I tried to leave it off the main post and let you guys read it, the power use is just insane, basically 2X for less performance than a 5800x. Intel better get their act together quickly.
 
The other funny on the review was this :-


Notice
The official launch date for these processors, and full reviews, is March 30th. We are currently under NDA with Intel for the information that has been provided by Intel, and will publish that information in due course. However, as noted in a number of press outlets, some units have already been sold at retail before that sales date. Units obtained by that method are not under NDA by definition, and we obtained the Core i7-11700K for this review at retail, and as such we are not under NDA for any information we have obtained through using this processor.

Before publishing this review, we gave Intel advance notice to respond to us having a full review ahead of the formal release. Our email seemingly generated some excitement inside (and to our surprise, outside) Intel, but we received a response from Intel stating that they had no comment to offer.

Results are as expected indeed. So hot they've had to lop 2 cores off, slower than a 5800X.

I'm all ready for the glorious microcode update to address these shortcomings.

If it had 2 more cores it would use as much power as a RTX 3090 :D... close to 375w.. Can't wait for their GPUs to come out and see their power use.

Many will buy them for stability (loads of USB disconnecting issues on Zen 3 it seems) and for the best gaming performance. Remember, the i9 at stock is going to re-take the gaming performance crown:

I think the Anandtech i7 reviews numbers looked bugged in some way. We'll see once the release uefi/microcode and official benchmarks are released.

LOL usb issues... Intel HEDT has been plagued with them since day one and never fixed 100% ... That's why I avoided x299 after x99... Click below link...

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=x99+usb+problems


The system in my signiture is the first ever AMD system I have purchased since owning and buying my first intel 80286 IBM compatible PC around 1982. So that should tell you something... I was the number one intel fan and even when they were slower a bit I would still get intel because I knew programs were compiled on intel and ran better.. not anymore that excuse works. I have had enough of intel and the way they vandalised the cpu market for decades and kept us on dual and quad cores for way too long unless we went HEDT and paid the stupid prices. New world now and as a PC fan I will buy what is best and what is best right now is AMD for cpus and price. Intel lost me this time, next time maybe different and they also lost all the people (work, family and friends) that come to me to buy systems for them, because now I buy AMD cpus for them and AMD laptops with their cpus.

Intel has been a disaster for over 5 years now and vandalised the cpu market for decades with their shady deals with pc builders and deliberately slowing down innovation in the cpu/pc market by giving us rehashed old technology and limiting core counts and then segmenting their cpus from mainstream to HEDT to keep selling cpus at very inflated prices for the performance given, basically a monopoly how they behaved, wake up to the reality.


When I read the review for rocket lake I couldn't stop laughing and though Karma finally got them and at the same time saddened to see what a mess they have turned into, but remembered the greedy ways how they behaved and thought good this time they will get a kicking they won't forget quickly and come back fighting next time a better stronger company hopefully and behave with better ethics. We need intel to be good again or AMD will take us for a ride next time too. That is just how business works in this sector, Nvidia is another great example but so far they are ahead with products that still can't be touched by AMD's GPU section, minute they do an intel and fall behind I will repeat the same as I have done with intel here, Nvidia are currently taking us on the intel ride from the past and playing us all for fools to with fake MSRP on their products and deliberately slowing down innovation by adding low amounts of VRAM as an example to their so called top end gaming card the 3080 10GB is a joke and done to make sure people update early. Yes I know 3090.. but that is not really aimed at gamers and as a gaming card only it's silly priced, for work a bargain.


@Dave2150 we will see once they release uefi/microcode and official benchmarks get released and then go watch intels share prices over the week. They have bigger problems than microcode this generation of cpus as you will wake up to that fact soon.. an 8 core cpu using as much power as a 3090 is a bad joke and the costs of cooling/running it and the silly price intel will put on them to be stubborn and pretend to be still on top. :rolleyes:

Shareholders questioning them end of March will get.... "Intel stating that they had no comment to offer";):p

Wow, that's one awful chip from Intel. Why would they even bother developing/releasing it?

So they can sell you new motherboards with new chipsets that they make money on, people forget the chipset on motherboards for intel cpus are made by intel too, the other thing that makes them money as well as LAN chipsets, wireless chipsets, USB chipsets etc on these motherboards too.

The intel scam has always been about new platform with new pin layout for each new cpu and lucky if you get a single update after the one you got, but normally not even worth updating to the next one as it's normally just a few single percent faster with maybe less power usage.

The never ending cycle of same tech with a new pin layout and new name to hide it's the same thing rehashed, they finally this time decided to add pcie v4, while pcie v5 and v6 standards have been passed. So they really were 3 generations behind in PCIE compared to AMD that is was 2 behind the available standards. Dave will say well nothing uses PCIE4 .. but the NVME storage does and faster PCIE we get the faster the storage and more bandwidth to more devices at faster speeds.

Just a reminder what intel has been up to in the last 12 months. Linus had good reasons to pull them up on their rubbish and the segmentation they keep doing.



Even Apple has run away.



Intel needs to stop their rubbish and this new generation with rocket lake is still doing the same (but worse too) and proving they don't listen and again they will get the same bad publicity videos posted about them regarding this generation. They really deserve all the bad publicity they asked for with their behaviour and still not listening to consumers and the I.T media.
