That's going to be a tough sell for Intel this time around. The key spec for the i9 11900K is the core-count, and at eight cores and 16 threads that's lower than the cheaper i9 10900K. The Core i9-11900K, while impressive in single-threaded tasks, in our early tests ran too hot, too power-hungry, and not stable enough under stress to remain competitive with AMD's Ryzen.

This guide shows you exactly how to undervolt your processor so it uses less power.

11900k undervolt Intel's reveal is primarily focused on the new Rocket Lake-S Core i9-11900K chip, which has a base clock speed of 3.5GHz, and goes up to 5.3GHz (single core) and 4.8GHz (all cores) with Intel.
