Intel Core i9 and Core i7 “Rocket Lake” Lineup Leaked,

Intel is planning to debut its 11th Generation Core “Rocket Lake-S” desktop processor household with a reasonably large number of SKUs, in line with leaked firm slides shared by VideoCardz, which look like coming from the identical supply as an earlier report from at present that speak about double-digit p.c gaming efficiency positive factors over the earlier technology. Just the Core i9 and Core i7 sequence add as much as 10 SKUs between them. These embody unlocked- and iGPU-enabled “K” SKUs, unlocked however iGPU-disabled “KF,” locked however iGPU-enabled components, and locked and iGPU-disabled “F” components.

With “Rocket Lake-S,” Intel seems to have hit a ceiling with the variety of CPU cores it could possibly cram onto a die alongside an iGPU, on the 75 mm x 75 mm LGA bundle, whereas retaining its 14 nm silicon fabrication node. Both the Core i9-11900 sequence and the Core i7-10700 sequence are 8-core/16-thread components, with an an identical quantity of cache. They are differentiated on the idea of clock speeds as tabled beneath, and the shortage of the Thermal Velocity Boost function on the Core i7 components. The Core i5 sequence “Rocket Lake-S” components are reportedly 6-core/12-thread.

Some extra sport efficiency slides had been leaked to the net. The first one beneath (additionally posted earlier at present), offers with comparisons between the i9-11900Okay and the previous-generation flagship, the 10-core i9-10900Okay. The second slide offers with i9-11900Okay in comparison with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-core processor, the place it is claiming wherever between 2% to eight% efficiency positive factors, throughout a broader number of video games than the comparability to the i9-10900Okay. The efficiency lead will get larger with multi-threaded technique video games like “Total War,” however slims right down to 2% with first-person/third-person video games reminiscent of “Far Cry: New Dawn” and “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.”
