Description of the processor

The Intel Core i7-11700KF comes from the eleventh generation of Intels Core i7 processors and was presented in the first quarter of 2021. This is the last generation that is still manufactured using the outdated 14-nanometer process; the twelfth generation is already based on a structural width of 10 nanometers. The processor is designed for use in the desktop segment and requires a mainboard with the LGA 1200 socket in order to be able to install it.

The i7 processor has 8 cores and supports Intels Hyperthreading technology. If necessary, the 8 physical cores can be converted into 16 computing threads, also known as logical cores. The 8 cores have a base clock frequency of 3.60 gigahertz. This base clock frequency can increase to up to 5.00 gigahertz when a single core is loaded in turbo mode. If all cores are fully utilized at the same time, the clock rate is increased to up to 4.50 gigahertz per core.

The "K" in the name indicates that the processor has a free multiplier and can therefore be overclocked. However, this requires special cooling, a standard fan, such as that included with the box versions, is not sufficient for this.

The Intel Core i7-11700KF achieves a single-core score of 1569 and a multi-core score of 15011 in the popular benchmark Cinebench R23.

The "F" in the naming indicates that the processor is not equipped with an internal graphics unit (iGPU). A dedicated graphics card, e.g. an AMD Radeon or an NVIDIA GeForce, is therefore required for operation with this processor. The Intel Core i7-11700KF has 20 PCIe lanes in version 4.0 for this purpose.

DDR4-3200 modules are supported as RAM and with its 2 memory channels, the Intel Core i7-11700KF can be operated with up to 128 RAM.
