Both CPUs are six-core
Over the past couple of weeks, quite a few reviews of the Core i7-11700K processor have appeared on the Web, as at least one major store sold more than a hundred such CPUs a month before release.
Intel’s new people’s processors. What are the Core i5-11600KF and Core i5-11400F capable of in the first tests?
But today an overview of more affordable new Intel products – Core i5-11600KF and Core i5-11400F – has appeared on the Web. These are six-core CPUs with Hyper-Threading support. The first operates at frequencies of 3.9-4.9 GHz, the frequencies of the second are 2.6-4.4 GHz. Recall that in the Rocket Lake lineup there will be no Core i3 and lower processors, instead, Comet Lake Refresh will be released, that is, slightly improved old CPUs.
So what do the tests show? It should be noted that there are few tests, and there are no other processors on the diagrams. But we ourselves can correlate the results, for example, in Cinebench with the results of other processors.
For example, the Core i5-10600K in Cinebench R15 scores about 185 and 1485 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively, and in Cinebench R20 the result is about 490 and 3600 points. That is, the new product is 15-30% faster than its predecessor, depending on the test and mode. In multi-threaded mode, by the way, the gain is the smallest. Core i5-11400F, in turn, is ahead of its predecessor by 20-30%.
At the same time, the Ryzen 5 5600X is slightly ahead of the Core i5-11600KF and is significantly ahead of the younger novelty. Although he will not compete with the younger one.
The author also checked the power consumption and it turned out that the Core i5-11600KF under load in the form of AIDA64 consumes an average of 209 watts, and the Core i5-11400F requires about 145 watts.
