05:57 ‘Why don’t they just smear our balls with honey’ – what do Intel need to do?

07:49 11th Gen Rocket Lake, the mobos and closing thoughts
We won’t cherry pick from Anandtech’s review as you should really have a proper read of the material HERE but instead will sum it up by saying Intel has been forced, yet again, to use a 14nm process and the result is that it cannot crank up clock speeds and has been forced to cut the maximum core count from ten to eight. While the Core i7-11700K has new Cypress Cove cores, a new DDR4 memory controller, new Xe integrated graphics and new support for PCIe Gen 4 it runs head-to-head with Core i9-10900K and consumes a huge amount of power.
