The onboard graphics are better than the 10th Gen i5 10500

The onboard graphics are better than the 10th Gen i5 10500
I own a Gigabyte Z490M Gaming X motherboard. It has two M.2 slots, but one that doesn't work (labeled limited functionality). It turns out that Gigabyte built ahead to provide added functionality once the 11th Gen processors were released. So, when the new processors came out, I replaced my 10th Gen i5 10500 processor with this one. Initially, I noticed six things:1. This processor requires more power (125 watts vs 65 watts for the i5 10500)2. Even though it uses twice the power, it only runs about 4 degrees Celsius hotter under an average or light workload. (I used the same 120mm liquid cooler for both).3. The onboard graphics are noticeably improved over the previous generation chip.4. The processor doesn't feel twice as fast, but is noticeably faster than the 10th gen i5 10500 (which was a solid processor too).5. My second M.2 slot on my motherboard now works due to the functionality of the 11th-gen 11600k. Currently, I use one slot for my Intel WiFi card and one for my uber-fast M.2 hard drive. This frees up a ton of room on my PCI-Express ports for a really nice video card.6. My motherboard required a firmware update in advance of installing the processor.Words of caution before buying:1. Make sure your motherboard has the right socket type: LGA1200.2. Make sure your power supply has not just the four-pin power connection, but also a second 4-pin power connector (for a total of 8 pins). Most 600 Watt or bigger ATX or ITX power supplies should probably work. Often the two plugs have a connection to plug them together side-by-side before plugging into the motherboard. Don't try to use the other connector intended for a video card.3. Make sure you have the correct firmware installed BEFORE you try to install the new processor. Otherwise, you'll waste time and thermal paste and will have to reinstall your old processor, install the firmware update, test it, and then reinstall the new processor.4. Recalibrate your fans if needed afterwards.My computer boots faster, plays Minecraft at a higher frame rate, and doesn't run significantly hotter. I don't overclock it. It was just so close in price to the next model down a the time, that I decided to get it.
