An early review of the Intel Core i7 10700k was posted by Andreas Schilling over at HardwareLuxx (via Videocardz) and is the second such publication after Anandtech's review. As always with early reviews keep in mind that unless the final bios with the release microcode ships, while these numbers will likely be very close to the final performance - there is still some room for potential improvement.

With that said let's dive in. The Core i7 11700K tested is a retail part that was purchased by Hardwareluxx and combined with a Asus ROG Maximus XIII Hero Z590 motherboard and DDR4-6400 RAM. The chip tested was able to hit an overclock of 4.9 GHz  - which is a pretty impressive overclock considering the maximum power draw recorded by Andreas was 195W. It's worth adding here that the reason why Anandtech numbers are so high is because they tested AVX512 loads,  which is never used in typical day-to-day usage. In Hardwareluxx's testing, the 195W limit was also only sustained for a short time before it switched back to 125W.
