BEST SELLERS

In Desktop CPU Processor

After a week, snappy and smooth performance.

Good price

Comes with HSF.

The CPU mounted easily, and ran well first time out of the box.

i dont need to list specs or ramble on how this is currently the best cpu out there for gaming. these are facts, not my opinion. what i will say, is that if you got the cash, and want the best performance for your current rig, this if for you. i have been bulding rigs for a long time and intel has never failed me. the quality, overclockability, stability, never falters. cannot say the same for amd unfortunately. this will trigger a lot of the enlightened bargain shopping bigots who are reading this but guess what, some of us don't give a dang for price to performance ratio.

Low power, good igpu, cheap

Its Intel, Its in stock, it American made too not just American designed!

Upgraded my rig from a X99 system with a 6950X running quad channel DDR4 RAM to this chip. I didnt think playing games my cpu was the bottleneck as I currently have a 2080 super, boy was I ever wrong. An absolute beast, power hungry yes, be sure to get the motherboard socket mounting plate, you will thank yourself later, and also either watercool it, or go with a DH-15; you wont regret it.

(1) It works. (2) It is faster than my TR 1950X. (3) It is faster than my R9 7950X at multi-threaded tasks. (4) It can run WinUAE in real-time without the need for JIT.

I was planning to get a Ryzen 5800x but ended up with this due to cost and availability. This CPU gets you very near the performance of the 11700k for 80 bucks less (at the time of purchase). All you need to do is remove the power limits in your BIOS or using Throttlestop or Intel XTU. This can be done on b560 boards too. If you're willing to forego that last 3-5% of performance, you can save a considerable amount by getting this with a cheaper B560 mobo instead of the Z590. In normal use (VMs for software development, Visual Studio) the 11700 doesn't go over 80W power consumption when busy. Using a Hyper 212 the temp stays 30-38 deg C on idle and 65-70 deg C in Cinebench R20 I have my power plan set to max performance in Windows 10 and despite all cores hovering between 4.4-4.7 constantly my typical power use is 20-50W Integrated graphics can do 4k @ 60Hz over HDMI. This is a big bump over the 4k @ 30Hz of 10-series chips. And will save you another $120 for a low-end GT-1030 to drive a monitor for non-gaming use.

2.5x times faster in rendering than a FX8320, low power and heat, so cheap and for gaming, well, got more FPS in all games.
