Intel Core i7-11700
Intel's non-K 11th Gen (Rocket Lake) Core i7 for LGA1200: eight cores and 16 threads at up to 4.9 GHz, 16 MB cache, 65 W base power, UHD Graphics 750 and PCIe 4.0 support, launched in the first quarter of 2021.
Pros
- 8 cores and 16 threads with a boost clock of up to 4.9 GHz
- Integrated UHD Graphics 750, so no discrete GPU is needed to get a display
- PCIe 4.0 support with 20 CPU lanes
- 65 W base power is easier to cool than the unlocked K-series parts
Cons
- Locked multiplier, so no multiplier overclocking
- 14 nm Rocket Lake design with an older feature set than 12th Gen and later desktop chips
- Requires an LGA1200 motherboard and supports DDR4 only
- Memory support tops out at DDR4-3200
