The Core i9-11900K is Intel’s flagship offering in their new Rocket Lake-S desktop CPU series. Earlier this week we reviewed another new Rocket Lake processor, the mid-range Core i5-11600K and found it to be a decent offering. Although at the MSRP it’s not competitive enough with the Ryzen 5 5600X, with that AMD CPU currently overpriced, we felt the best 6-core option for those buying right now is actually the older 10th-gen Core i5-10600K, or even better, the $200 10600KF model which is readily available.
