Core i9-11900 vs. AMD Offerings

I'm looking into getting a new CPU and came across the Core i9-11900. Has anyone used it before?

Yeah, I've been using one for a few months now. It's pretty good! The single-core turbo boost frequency is amazing, and I've had no issues with gaming.

That's great to hear! Have you read this TechReviewer article about the Core i9-11900? Is the Core i9-11900 CPU Good for Gaming? It provides an overview of its performance capabilities.

Oh, thanks for sharing that! So, based on what you've experienced and the article, would you recommend it over AMD's offerings?

I think it holds its own against AMD's CPUs in terms of gaming performance. However, the lack of overclocking support is a bummer.

Yeah, I agree with @Rethen113. The 11900 has some great features like PCIe 4.0 support and DDR4 speed up to 3200 MHz, but the mediocre L3 cache capacity of 16 MB is something to consider.

That's true. It really depends on your specific needs and preferences. Some people might prioritize the high single-core boost frequency over the cache size.

Makes sense. I'll definitely check out Is the Core i9-11900 CPU Good for Gaming? for more insights.

No problem, happy to help!
