Intel Core i7-11700F
Benchmarks & Specs

The Intel Core i7-11700F is an 8-core desktop processor from Intel. It serves the upper mid-range segment and is suitable both for gaming computers and for working in applications. With its 8 cores and support for Intel Hyperthreading Technology, the processor can process a total of 16 threads in parallel. The speed in applications that can use multiple threads at the same time is therefore very good.

The Intel Core i7-11700F is based on the 11th generation of the Intel Core i series from Intel, which is the last series to use CPU cores of the same size without a hybrid structure. The Rocket Lake processors support the AVX-512 instruction set, which is no longer supported or only partially supported on the newer 12th generation Intel Alder Lake processors. If you work a lot with applications that benefit from AVX-512, the purchase of the Intel Core i7-11700F can still be worthwhile in 2022.

The clock frequency of the Intel Core i7-11700F is 2.5 GHz, via the so-called turbo mode the processor can increase this clock frequency up to 4.9 GHz (single-core mode) when all 8 CPU cores are loaded a clock frequency of 3.8 GHz is still possible.

In contrast to most Core i processors, the Intel Core i7-11700F does not have an integrated graphics unit (iGPU). So you absolutely need a dedicated graphics card for operation. Up to 128 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM is supported, with two memory channels being available, and 1 to 4 RAM modules can be installed. If DDR4-3200 RAM is used in dual-channel mode, the system achieves a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB per second.

PCIe 4.0 is supported with 20 lines, so modern and fast graphics cards can also be connected to the system without loss of speed.

• PCIe 4.0 Support
