It has a base clock speed of 3.5 GHz and a boost clock speed of 5.3 GHz, which can be increased even further through overclocking. The CPU is built using a 14nm process and has a TDP (thermal design power) of 125 watts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a summary of the main specifications of the Intel Core i9-11900K:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Specification<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Value<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Cores<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Threads<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Architecture<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Rocket Lake<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Base Clock Speed<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3.5 GHz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Boost Clock Speed<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5.3 GHz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Process<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">14nm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TDP<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">125 watts<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Features\"><\/span>Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Core i9-11900K has a number of features that make it a strong performer. It supports Intel Hyper-Threading technology, which allows each physical core to work on two threads simultaneously, improving the CPU&#8217;s multitasking capabilities. It also supports Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0, which automatically increases the clock speed of the CPU&#8217;s fastest cores to maximize performance in single-threaded tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the standout features of the Core i9-11900K is its ability to be overclocked, which means that users can increase its clock speed beyond the default values to achieve even better performance. However, it&#8217;s worth noting that overclocking can also increase the risk of hardware failure and may void the manufacturer&#8217;s warranty, so it&#8217;s important to do so carefully and at your own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of compatibility, the Core i9-11900K uses the LGA 1200 socket, which is found on some newer Intel motherboards. It is also compatible with DDR4 memory and requires a motherboard with an Intel 400 series chipset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros\"><\/span>Pros<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Strong single-core and multi-core performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good overclocking potential<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supports Intel Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost Max 3.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons\"><\/span>Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Relatively high TDP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May require a motherboard upgrade to use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overclocking can void the manufacturer&#8217;s warranty and increase the risk of hardware failure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Competition\"><\/span>Competition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a comparison of the Intel Core i9-11900K with some other popular CPUs in a table format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>CPU<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Cores<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Threads<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Base Clock (GHz)<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Boost Clock (GHz)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Intel i9-11900K<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">16<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3.5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5.3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AMD Ryzen 9 5900X<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">24<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3.7<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4.8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AMD Ryzen 9 5950X<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">16<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">32<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3.4<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4.9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Intel i9-10900K<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">20<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3.7<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5.3<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: These values may vary based on the specific motherboard and BIOS being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the Intel Core i9-11900K has a slightly lower base clock speed than the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X, but a higher boost clock speed. It also has fewer cores and threads than both of the AMD CPUs. It&#8217;s worth noting that the Core i9-11900K does support Hyper-Threading, which means that each of its cores can process two threads simultaneously, resulting in a total of 16 threads. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X do not support Hyper-Threading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_in_the_box\"><\/span>What&#8217;s in the box<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard contents of a box of the Intel Core i9-11900K may vary depending on the retailer or manufacturer.
