Intel Core i5-11600K Review

Leo Waldock March 31, 2021 CPU, Featured Tech Reviews, Reviews

Rating: 8.5.

Following on from our i9-11900K review earlier today, Intel's mid-range i5-11600K is the next Rocket Lake chip to pass through our labs. This 6-core and 12-thread processor is priced at £270 here in the UK, taking the fight directly to AMD's highly regarded Ryzen 5 5600X. Can it do enough to oust the Ryzen 5 as the current hexa-core king?
