Intel i9 11th generation for video editing (Premiere Pro) ....... thoughts please

I do not recommend the 11th-Generation i9 at this time:

It, core- and thread-count-wise, is actually a downgrade from the 10th-Generation i9 since it has only 8 cores and 16 threads versus the 10 cores and 20 threads of the 10th-Gen i9.

Next, the 11th-Gen i9 is barely any improvement over its i7 sibling to justify the substantially higher cost.

Third, all of the 11th-Gen desktop CPUs consume significantly more power than their 10th-Gen predecessors, requiring more robust cooling just to keep CPU operating temperatures in check.

And all this is because the 11th-Gen desktop CPUs introduce an architecture that had been designed for the 10 nm manufacturing process that Intel had serious trouble achieving sufficiently high clock speeds with while "backporting" it to the desktop CPUs' 14 nm process that dated all the way back to 2014 with Broadwell (5th-Gen Intel CPUs). That, IMHO, has stretched out Intel's over-six-year-old manufacturing process a bit too far for its own good, especially since Intel had to nerf the Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics and its QuickSync capabilities just to make the new architecture fit into the existing desktop CPU manufacturing process, turning the Iris Xe graphics that is in the 11th-Gen mobile quad-core CPUs into the UHD Graphics 750 and 730 for these desktop CPUs.

In other words, the 11th-Gen i9 is not worth the significantly added cost and power consumption. Go with the i7-11700K instead if you want an 8-core Intel 11th-Gen CPU as that CPU is not as much of a ripoff as the i9-11900K.

I don't need one, but seems to be available at Amazon
