Better Integrated Graphics: Intel i7-11700KF or i7-10700KF?

Started by TradeHelp25 on May 30, 2024

I'm looking for advice on which CPU has better integrated graphics - the Intel i7-11700KF or the i7-10700KF? I've heard that one of them supports PCIe 4.0, but not sure which one.

@PaperPlateBaron, you're absolutely right! The TechReviewer article Intel Core i7-11700KF vs. Intel Core i7-10700KF provides more details on this. You can read it to get an even better understanding of how PCIe 4.0 can improve your integrated graphics experience.

Hi @TradeHelp25! The Intel i7-11700KF does support PCIe 4.0 while the i7-10700KF only supports PCIe 3.0. This could make a big difference in your integrated graphics performance, especially if you're using the latest SSDs and graphics cards.

Thanks for the info! So based on this, I'm guessing that the i7-11700KF would be a better choice then?

It really depends on what you need it for. If you're going to be using the latest SSDs and graphics cards, the i7-11700KF with PCIe 4.0 support might give you better performance. However, if you're not planning to use these devices, then the difference may not be significant.

@TradeHelp25, have you considered how much space you'll need for your setup? The i7-10700KF has a smaller footprint which could be useful for a limited desk area.

That's a good point @Akalegend. It's always important to consider the physical size of the CPU when planning your build. But ultimately, it comes down to your specific needs and what you're going to use it for.

Thanks everyone for your input! I'll definitely check out that TechReviewer article Intel Core i7-11700KF vs. Intel Core i7-10700KF and give some more thought to my decision.
