The first proper review of a retail Intel Core i7-11700K 8 Core Rocket Lake Desktop CPU has been published by Dr. Ian Cutress of Anandtech. The tech outlet managed to get their hands on one of the retail chips from a manufacturer who probably broke the NDA like MindFactory and started to sell the CPUs a full month before the official launch on the 30th of March.

What's interesting about these results than the one we have seen leak out before is that it is based on the retail sample. The Intel Core i7-11700K is going to be placed against the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X which is AMD's fastest 8 core offering based on the Zen 3 core architecture. The Core i9-11900K will be the top-dog but based on its pricing, it should be competing against the Ryzen 9 5900X with the same 8 core configuration but higher clock frequencies.
