Intel Core i processors are now in their 11th generation and despite difficulties with 10nm or smaller chip production, Intel still wants to improve performance and sends the Intel Core i5-11600K and the Intel Core i9-11900K from the Intel Rocket Lake-S series into the race today on OCinside.de! As a platform, we have chosen the brand new ASRock Z590 Steel Legend LGA1200 high-end motherboard with Z590 chipset.
