Why choose i5 11th-Gen (Rocket Lake)
• Cores/Threads: 6 cores / 12 threads for fluid multitasking and fast application launches
• Clocks: High boost frequencies keep workflows snappy; K chips are unlocked for overclocking (board/cooling dependent)
• Graphics: Intel UHD 730/750 on non-F models; “F” versions require a discrete GPU
• Memory: Strong pairing with DDR4-3200 (board-dependent) for responsive desktop experiences
• I/O & storage: Native PCIe 4.0 from the CPU—x16 for GPUs and x4 for NVMe SSDs on supported boards
• Acceleration: Intel Quick Sync Video, SSE4.2, AVX2, VT-x/VT-d (model-dependent) speed media, virtualization, and secure workflows
Platform & compatibility
• Socket: LGA1200—best with 500-series motherboards (H510, B560, Z590)
• Many Z490/H470 boards support 11th-Gen after a BIOS update; most H410/B460 do not—check your model
• For quiet, cool operation use a quality 92–120 mm tower cooler and fresh thermal paste
