Intel Core i5-11600K Review

When you look at the basic specification of Core i5-11600K it looks very similar to the previous generation Core i5-10600K.

Indeed you might even think that Intel has tweaked the CPU just a tiny bit and that little of significance has changed under the hood.

In fact a huge amount has changed as Rocket Lake packs in new Cypress Cove cores, new Xe integrated graphics and a new AI feature called Deep Learning Boost.

To our way of thinking the big news is that Rocket Lake supports 20 lanes of PCI Express Gen 4 (16 lanes for graphics and 4 lanes for the Primary M.2) where Comet Lake supported a mere 16 lanes of PCI Express Gen 3.
