The Intel Core i7-11700K processor might be more powerful than it’s previously been given credit for. While early leaks had suggested the Intel CPU would fall behind the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, new benchmark results show the chip blowing AMD’s flagship processors out of the world.
While not everyone is a fan of how UserBenchmark - the site where these Intel Core i7-11700K results have cropped up - calculates its average scores list, the CPU did well in the single-core, dual-core, four-core, eight-core charts. As with all leaked info we can't guarantee the results are 100% legitimate but regardless these results give us a reason to pay attention to the latest entry in the Rocket Lake-S series.
We’ll learn more about the Intel Core i7-11700K later this month, with an official unveiling expected for March 16. After the chips went on sale early we found out that you’ll likely be able to pick one up for €469 (around $570 / £410 / AU$730) with a rumored release date of March 30.
