Intel Core i9-11900K "Rocket Lake" to Feature i9-9900K-like Fancy Retail Package

Ugh, more landfill.
Just charge a $20 premium for the "collector's edition" and let people who want to showcase the box on the shelf in their streams pay a small premium. 99.9% of these boxes get discarded.
I can't speak for anyone else but I keep my hardware boxes for when I inevitably resell (for all internal hardware). I had my 3770k box when I threw that up for sale and I still have my 2500k box that's in another system.
 
Hi,
Guess cyberpunk 2077 design was dumped lol
 
techpowerup home of the amd haterz
 
modern art is garbage. give me 16th century Dutch realism any day.

Calling something a "modern art masterpiece" is not a compliment lmao
 
Pats my 9900KS dodecahedron package ... Yeah I don't see anything fancy here.

Hi,
Indeed surprised the new intel box doesn't look like a Kentucky Fried Chicken box they love the Initials so much :cool:

Well they have that collab covered already, isn't that why the KFConsole is powered by a NUC Compute Element? :D The extra power draw has to go somewhere, may as well go towards solving world hunger right?
 
Lol so many haters in this thread, blows my mind how butthurt people get over Intel.

Only one butthurt is you, my dude. We're all having a laugh over a questionable-looking box, here.

Back on topic -- I wonder if this design was made possible by UPS manhandling an original square 11900K box, and Intel ended up liking it so much they decided to make it "special edition"? :D :roll:
 
Intel will make the box special because they are hoping it will make it more attractive. The moment they figure that it’s not, they will swap it with a card board box. The i9 9900K is an example.
Intel’s competitor is not just AMD, but also their own Alder Lake since it’s expected to launch this year.
 
CRUSHED! it intel :laugh:
 
appropriate package

When you only have fewer cores you should at least have a better box than the competitors :D
This reminds me of Lays, I bet there will be 90% air gaming and only 10% content :D

A bucket does quite match with the heatsink size you need. Maybe they shoukd recycle those buckets and use the budget to include a proper boxed cooler again. I see a win-win here!

Dont confuse good fun with hate. Its s common problem these days.
 
Oh, they will look so fancy on a landfill. Honest question, do people really care about packaging? Since the law changed a few years ago and original retail package cannot be a requirement for a warranty claim, I don't remember paying any mind to the package. It could be grey cardboard for all I care, I need what's inside.
 
Shouldn't we see already the box for the i9-12900K already? I mean this is a CPU going to be released after 6 months only.

Putting a ET Atari cartridge scoured in dirt in that display case would be gloriously SteamPunk.
 
Again they spend their R&D money on a fancy box that nobody cares about. What's the point?
