The Full Nerd ep. 172: Core i9-11900K review, Intel's future, Nvidia adds ReBAR

In this episode of The Full Nerd, Gordon Ung, Brad Chacos, and Adam Patrick Murray dive deep into Intel’s new 11th-gen “Rocket Lake” Core processors and the company’s plans for the future.The headline of Gordon’s Core i9-11900K review sums it up nicely: Intel’s 14nm farewell tour can’t end soon enough. Rocket Lake chips marry the company’s 10nm Ice Lake architecture to the 14nm process that Intel has stuck with for over half a decade. This slightly unnatural union results in the loss of two cores, leaving the 11900K with just 8 compared to its 10900K predecessor's 10. This makes the 11th-gen chip's performance a bit of a mixed bag versus AMD’s rival Ryzen 5000 processors, and even Intel’s own last-gen flagship, despite various speed and feature improvements.To read this article in full, please click here https://www.pcworld.com/article/3613829/the-full-nerd-ep-172-core-i9-11900k-review-intels-future-nvidia-adds-rebar.html#tk.rss_all
