Intel i5-11400F Review - $175 Killer Value Gaming CPU

Kinda nuts as if you get the 11400F or 11400 instead of the k or 5600x, you would save enough money to get a 3060 Ti instead of a 3060 or 3070 instead of a 3060 Ti with minimal performance loss. If the cards were in stock that is... Still, pretty nice to see the crazy performance and value that competition can bring us.

I do like the fact that so many new gaming laptops are offering 1440p instead of 1080p or 4k. Looks like there won't be a Ryzen version as of right now for their 16 inch but Tiger Lake should be faster than Ryzen 5000 mobile.

Intel Sapphire Rapids to feature up to 56 cores, 350W TDP and 64GB of HBM2 memory

This is Intel's next gen 10nm based DDR5 and PCI-E 5 server CPU. It's good they upped the core count. We will see how Zen 4 and next gen Eypc does but till it comes out, I am sure the current gen Epyc will remain top.

Gear 1 can Lead to Performance Loss on Intel "Rocket Lake" 11th Gen Processors

The memory controller in Gear 2 uses less power which allows for more aggressive turbo boosting of CPUs that are TDP constrained. Although currently, gaming workloads prefer Gear 1 while production workloads prefer Gear 2 if you are using DDR4-3733mhz or higher.
