The biggest difference between this and their old cpu’s is the packaging💀

Have to say it Ali, it's been 4 months since I subscribed to your channel and the quality of your videos is astonishing.

[iSipBobaTea]

The 11th Gen seems so underwhelming that Ali is excited about reviewing the 10600k again at 1:25 . Joking aside, great video as always!

I love the new 11 gen CPUs. They made the 10 gen CPUs cheaper to get and you got to love that

We're just watching Intel digging their own grave here

Running this chip on a ASUS Maximus XIII Hero with 64gb of ram. All I do is game on the machine and I am very happy with it. People see reviews like this and are like “this sucks” but if they actually used it in a high lvl build you can’t tell there’s a difference.

Hey man, I just wanted you to know that you inspired me to go sff for my first computer, I managed to get a 5600x, a 3080, an arctic liquid freezer ii 280, and was able to cram them all into an NR200. So cool to see you growing this fast!

11900K + RTX 3090 is the modern rendition of FX9590 + R9 295X2

Let's all take a moment and appreciate the R5 3600. Released back in 2019 and still holding it's own against these new CPUs. I'd go as far as saying it's among the best ever CPUs to see the light of day.

AMD : We've actually improved the Zen 2 architecture after listening to you guys.
intel : we got gen 4 now

[trickerdgaming]

I have an 11900K and got it new on sale for only 255 usd. was a great upgrade over my i7 9700f.

[shauryr]

performance of 5600x is just impressive! It is so close to the flagships. Massive respect for AMD

[SirSethery]

So yeah, GN calling it a "waste of sand" was pretty warranted.

My i7-8700k is still holding up oc'd at 5ghz, i'll upgrade in a few more years

[Hadwn]

I like the minimalist packaging, but I'm good with my r5 3600.
And great editing as always.

Francis smiled hazily. "Are you calling my intended a pig, Charles?"
Charles raised a dark eyebrow. "Intended what, Francis? You surely can't be having respectable inclinations towards this processor? The bullet hit your arm, not your head.”

Features, overclocking, memory speeds. Dedicated PCIe lanes for NvMe instead of 8x8x bifurcation. This does impact performance on higher tear cards such as 3090.

i wish you did Virtual reality content. we need one like you there. not many good reviewers in that space.

[Bajicoy]

The 11900K is by no means a bad cpu, it serves to lower the price of 10th gen and be a great used budget cpu. Right now the price isn't great until intel slashes its price by 30% and people will look at it like it is the hidden deal of the century just like the 10700 and 10850 price cuts. Really exciting to hear all this negative feedback because it will make the CPU more affordable!
