Performance i5-11500 vs i5-10600K and B460/B560 motherboards

[Piotr]

Dear Intel Community,

I would like to know what CPU have better performance if I will not do overclocking. i5-11500 vs i5-10600K. Both CPU will be pair with Bx60 chipset.

For i5-10600K --> ASUS TUF GAMING B460-PLUS ATX LGA 1200, link: https://allegro.pl/oferta/asus-tuf-gaming-b460-plus-atx-lga-1200-9339240029

For i5-11500 --> ASUS PRIME B560-PLUS, link: https://allegro.pl/oferta/plyta-glowna-asus-prime-b560-plus-10555288116

What is better choice? i5-10600K and B460 ASUS TUF motherboard or i5-11500 and B560 PRIME ASUS B560 motherboard.

Can you help me? I must do choice today.

Hello Piotr, 

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. 

I would like to inform you that Intel support staff can not say/advise on which product you need to buy, this is because there many variables that will depend on the usage that you give to the unit (if it is for games, work, study, editing, streaming).

Also, we cannot tell you which motherboard is better because it will also depend on which features you are interested in (video ports, USB, port, overclocking, PCI-e slots).

However, for information about our processors you can check the following links:

1. Use our official benchmark site:

- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/performance/overview.html

2. You can see a comparison of the 2 processors:

3. For further details about the motherboard compatibility and support, I recommend you to get in contact with ASUS.

Okay I supposed that you will not answer my about motherboard choice but I asked you about performance for Intel processors - i5-10600K versus i5-11500.  Is this the same performance or 10600K is faster? Now I think that I will buy i5-10600K or i7-10700 because i5-11500 have drivers problems (you can read this in forum) so if both processor are the same I prefer 10600K.

I also noticed in Intel i3-10100 on Linux family system (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) graphical artifacts. On Windows 10 I didn't notice it so this is problem with Intel linux drivers. Where I can report it that is it problem for Intel Comet Lake on linux? I know that I can report it for Ubuntu Developers but I want to report it to Intel Software Engineer who wrote this GPU driver for Intel GPU for linux. Can you help?

Hello Piotr, 

Thanks for replying, 

For performance, generally, a newer generation is better than the previous generation, however, this could be relative since this will depends on the usage that you are going to give to the unit.

For example, if you are interested in overclocking, you may need a "K" version (i5-10600K). If you do not want to overclock and just use the computer for light gaming and/or work usage you may need the non "K" version (i7-10700). The same principle applies if you are going to use a dedicated video card (Nvidia, Radeon), you may need a processor with no video integrated (an "F" version).

What an intel representative can do, is just give all the information about the processors and it is up to you to choose the one that you like the most or adjust better to your lifestyle.

As per the issue with Linux, would be better to report it directly with the Linus team since they are in charge of the drivers and firmware, but if you would like to inform Intel, I recommend you open a new thread or get in contact with us directly. For that you can use the link that works better for you:

- US Canada: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/contact-support.html#@11

Please keep in mind that this thread will no longer be monitored by Intel.

 I have also question to Intel B560 chipset. Why it is very weak? I found this video: https://youtu.be/p8Alp_YFir0?t=427

Like you can see B560 motherboard have problem with performance for i7-11700. I readed on the internet that a lot of motherboard have this problem. Why it is look like that?


I hope that you will answer.

Yours faithfully,
Piotr

The B chipsets are the cheapest chipset and are known as being the poorest performers. Fact is, this is not because they actually perform any poorer; it is because the motherboard vendors wrap them with cheap motherboards. Remember the golden rule: You get what you pay for.

Okay but for example for AMD product B550 chipset with similar price have very good components and VRM and I can use Ryzen 9 3900X and this works fine without any issue so in my opinion B560 motherboards should also works fine but it is not. I don't understand why B560 chipset is crap.

[n_scott_pearson]

No one used the word 'crap'. I said that, IMHO, it was poorest performer and that motherboards that use it are usually the cheapest (low cost equals low quality; you get what you pay for).
