Intel's "secret" Core i9-11900KB uses a different architecture on the 10nm node
As do their covert siblings, the 11700B, 11500B, and 11100B on May 29, 2021, 10:39 WTF?! At some point, Intel secretly released the Core i9-11900KB, i7-11700B, i5-11500B, and the i3-11100B. The B stands for badass because that’s what these processors are: they use the 10nm SuperFin node, the superior Willow Cove core architecture, and are clocked higher than their regular counterparts. Okay, maybe B doesn’t stand for badass. It’s the shorthand for BGA, ball grid array. That’s a solderable type of socket, which means that these processors come permanently attache...
