I recently built a system around the 11600k. A lowish end ASRock B560, Crucial Ballistix/Micron 3200 16-18-18-38(?), and Samsung 980 Pro. The rest is all pretty garden variety.
Anyway, because this is my first build in a very, very long time, I installed CPU-Z to verify that I understood all this Intel/XMP/Gear this and that memory stuff correctly, and that it was operating as expected.
It was.
Out of idle curiousity, I ran the benchmarks and submitted the results. When I was brought to CPU-Z's website, they informed me that mine was the fastest system thus far benched and submitted.
This seems a dubious proposition to me, especially when it seems that I edged out a Ryzen 7 5xxx of some sort (I forget) and something else I forget altogether.
Don't get me wrong ... I am truly impressed with the performance of this little build - a bit too expensive right now for reasons known to all - but, otherwise? A warm boot back to the destop in 11 seconds (thank you, Mark Russinovich/Autologin), etc. I'd hoped to build such a machine for about six, seven hundred, maybe, but the boneyard is gone due to multiple moves and nothing I wanted was available. Still don't have a video card, but I can play Left for Dead, etc., with the onboard UHD 750. Congrats, Intel.
Anyone have any idea when I 'll be able to pick up a graphics card for MSRP or thereabouts? I can amuse myself with what I've got for six months or a year, maybe, but it does seem like I've got something deserving of better.
But, I digress, Is it remotely possible that mine is the fastest system to run the CPU-Z benchmark?
