Rocket Lake does have one thing going for it, though — some nice symmetry. It’s comprised of 6 hexa-core models and 8 octa-core models. Good job, Intel.

The hexa-cores include the i5-11400,11400F,11500,11600,11600K, and 11600KF. The octa-cores include the i7-11700,11700F,11700K, and 11700KF, and the i9-11900,11900F,11900K, and 11900KF. All models feature Hyper-threading. While a discussion of prices is about to follow, this is a good moment to point out that for the humble overclocker, the 11700KF (the cheapest overclockable octa-core model) is identically performant to the 11900K. So for some, these prices are superb; that can’t be denied. As has happened before, Belgian retailer 2Compute began a cascade of pricing divulgence by listing the entirety of the Rocket Lake series. From there, nabbing the identification codes for all the processors lets them be searched, and other listings be found. On average, we found four to five listings for each processor.
