So we have a new 11900K in front of us today and there is still a level of excitement when something new arrives even if it raises the question why? What do I mean by that? Well we are getting a new processor from Intel that is better than the last gen but fails in comparison to the competition. By now you have probably seen those day one reviews and have seen what I am talking about. Yes this 11th gen by no means flipped the charts but it has done what it was intended to do. Intel had a choice to make either wait and release a new nm process later or release what we have now just to stay in the race. We can all agree this has to be the last we see of the 14nm process. I mean that fact that they were able to take this process this far is something, right? I would say its an achievement to be able to squeeze every ounce out of something. And that’s what they did. There really isn’t any head room left for overclocking on this generation. They pull a lot of power and in turn are going to run hot when they are pushed. And at the time of this review we are already seeing stuff about the 12th gen come out. Possibly see them in our hands in the 4th quarter of this year. So this generation may not be in the wheel house for very long. With all that being said I am actually happy that Intel didn’t wait and released this. They almost had no choice. The gaming performance of these chips are still very competitive and even can out perform the competitor in some titles. But when it comes to raw processing power it will have to hand over that top spot. I don’t consider myself a fan boy of either of the chip makers. I just want a solid price/performance ratio and I would go with either.

Lets check out what Intel has to say about themselves on their website:
