Leaked: Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K and Core i5-11600K specs confirmed by MSI

VideoCardz has posted a slide from MSI's internal presentation, which supposedly was part of a recent presentation of the 500 series motherboards. In it, the company lists the main characteristics of the Rocket Lake-S series of processors that Intel has not yet officially announced.

According to the table, in the 11th generation, Intel Core processors with the K suffix will be the Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, and Core i5-11600K. Only the latter is six-core, while the Core i7 and Core i9 each offer eight cores.

The K series has a TDP of 125W and supports DDR4-3200 memory. While power consumption is unchanged from the Comet Lake-S series, memory support has improved. MSI's slide confirms that the Core i9-11900K will be able to automatically overclock to 5.3 GHz in Thermal Velocity Boost mode, while all cores will be able to reach 4.8 GHz. The base frequency is rumored to be 3.5 GHz.

The Core i7-11700K will be 300 MHz slower than the flagship, as it does not support Thermal Velocity Boost. But this processor will have a base frequency of 3.6 GHz, which is 100 MHz higher than the Core i9. Rounding out the list is the Core i5-11600K, which is a six-core 12-thread processor with a base clock of 3.9 GHz and 4.9 GHz in Turbo mode.

MSI's chart generally confirms the leaked specs, but keep in mind that Intel still has time and some frequencies may still change slightly.
