Product overview

Released March 30, 2021, the Core i7-11700F is an 11th‑Gen Rocket Lake‑S desktop CPU for LGA1200. It provides 8 cores/16 threads, a 2.5 GHz base and up to 4.9 GHz boost, 16 MB L3, DDR4‑3200 support, and 20 CPU PCIe 4.0 lanes. It runs on Intel 500‑series and select 400‑series chipsets (with BIOS support). Intel now lists this SKU as discontinued.

Positioned in the high_end i7 class, it exists to deliver strong 8‑core throughput at 65 W for builders using a discrete GPU, without K‑series overclocking. It’s a solid fit for 1080p/1440p gaming, streaming, video editing, and general productivity. Unique note: the F‑suffix means no integrated graphics, so a dedicated GPU is required.
