Benchmarks: CPU
As expected, the 65W 11th Gen Core i9-11900KB is no slouch. The 10nm chip excels in lightly threaded workloads, but isn't quite so impressive when the going gets tough. Digging into our log files reveals that thermal constraints play a part as the chip quickly throttles back to 3.3GHz across all cores during the Cinebench and Blender tests.
These are very healthy results for an eight-litre machine, but how small do you really need your PC to be? The 12-litre Corsair One a200 is in another league, and to be fair another price bracket.
