About This Product
The Intel Core i7-11700 is an 8-core, 16-thread Rocket Lake-S desktop processor with a base clock of 2.5 GHz and a boost clock up to 4.9 GHz. It offers solid multi-core performance for productivity and gaming, suitable for 1080p and 1440p gaming experiences. While it includes integrated graphics, a dedicated GPU is recommended for serious gaming. At its current price, it competes with newer generation mid-range CPUs that may offer better power efficiency or slightly higher IPC.
