Don’t you just love leaks … Well, a leaker from Chiphell claims that he just received the samples of three Rocket Lake CPUs. including the 11900K.
I can’t believe these Rocket Lake processors from Intel are STILL on 14nm (shaking my head).
Taken from Videocardz … The engineering samples are clearly clocked lower than retails units that we expect to appear in the leaks soon.
The Core i9-11900K ES appears to have a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a turbo of 4.8 GHz. The rumored specs mentioned a 3.5 GHz base clock and thermal velocity boost up to 5.3 GHz, this technology however is not shown by the CPU-Z software. The unit is clearly a 125W TDP model, indicating this is a K series CPU.
The Core i9-11900 and i7-11700 engineering samples have also acquired by the leaker. Both CPUs carry a base clock of 1.8 GHz with the turbo at 4.4 GHz for the 11900 CPU and 4.4 GHz for the 11700. Both samples are 65W processors.
According to the leaker, the samples were acquired for as much as 2800 Yuans (430 USD) for the 11900K, 2300 Yuans (350 USD) for the 11900 non-K sample, and 1600 Yuans (245 USD) for the Core i7 model. We do not know if this pricing for the engineering samples will be reflected in the same price for retail versions. The engineering samples are not meant for sale, hence we believe that this pricing is to be taken with a grain of salt.
The samples were used on an unnamed Intel B560 motherboard. It is said that the CPUs support XMP memory profiles up to 4133 MHz.
