It's merely a pedestrian showing at a time when real magic is necessary to change the CPU conversation. But it is not the rabbit that the chip giant needs to pull out of its hat after a few years spent trailing AMD in CPU innovation and raw performance. So the Core i9-11900K, Intel's latest flagship processor and the head of its 11th Generation "Rocket Lake" line, should sell well. The demand for high-end component hardware is practically baked in these days. Does that mean, by extension here in 2021, it might end up tricky to find at Intel's recommended pricing? Very possible. Is Intel's new $539 Core i9-11900K desktop CPU made of silicon? Yes, of course it is.
