The Rocket fails to ignite.

Hexus thanks for the review, i think there a couple of mistake in it:

- Page 6 has the same Memory Bandwitdh Copy chart on it twice
- Page 10 (UHD gaming test) actually shows the IGP tests that are on page 11

Rocket fails to ignite - by some miracle

Came to see the power consumption charts... wasn't disappointed!!

I'm surprised, knowing Intel's marketing spiel, that they didn't advertise it as a room heater.

I mean if they can do all this amazing now with 10nm and 14nm... then why did they not do that years ago and be giving their customers a proper product?

Because they simply had no need to....
Competition is a great thing

Hexus review is better than Anthony on LTT..... that really gives a poor review to Intel

This feels like a much more thorough / fair review than Overclockers, thanks for this! Slightly disappointed with these chips, but at least there's some competition on the table these days!

Competition in what way? Heating your house? 290+ watts on the top chips. It's like having a Lamborghini to go to the shops with

The Gamersnexus Core i5 11600K review shows its reasonably competitive with the Ryzen 5 5600X,which currently is very hard to get hold off. It does mean the Core i5 11400F and a B560 motherboard will be a decent mainstream setup IMHO.

Yeah, just what everyone expected tbh. If they would have priced this better, say around the 450$ mark like the 5800x, it would sell like hotcakes in this climate. But Intel is Intel and just screws over it's customers like always. Another fail...

That power draw is obscene.... and I'm saying this as an owner of the 9900K.

Climate? Power guzzling... are you on the southern hemisphere and heading into winter!?

Haha very fair point - reading that back I see the awful wording. By competition I actually meant as in AMD being on top, rather than INTEL just rolling out whatever they want for whatever price they want and that being our only choice!

Mind, I wonder if grabbing one of these would be good at replacing my electric radiator....

The big tell to me is that so many Intel processors are still in stock in the major retailers. Whereas AMD was sold out in minutes. Is this because Intel have managed to stock an obscene amount of chips into retailers or are they just not being bought?

Sure AMD had a very limited sku stack but that made it easier to buy.

Intels stack is confusing, the past few years have decayed their desirability, the 11700k pre-release added a nail to the coffin and they are easily seen to be hot, underwhelming and trailing the underdog.

It's actually sad to see this happen.
