Intel Rocket Lake CPU Appears with 6 Cores and 12 Threads

We have been listening to lots about Intel’s Rocket Lake lineup of processors. They are purported to be a backport of Willow Cove 10 nm core, tailored to work on a 14 nm course of for higher yielding. Meant to launch someday round late 2020 or the start of 2021, Rocket Lake is designed to work on the now current LGA1200 socket motherboards, which have been launched just some days in the past together with Intel Comet Lake CPUs. Rocket Lake is there to provide the desktop phase and fulfill consumer demand, in mild of missing 10 nm provides for desktop customers. The 10 nm node goes to current solely on cellular/laptop computer and server options earlier than it involves the desktop.

In the newest report on 3D Mark, the {hardware} leaker TUM APISAK has discovered a Rocket Lake CPU working the benchmark and we get to see first specs of the Rocket Lake-S platform. The benchmark ran on 6 core mannequin with 12 threads, that had a base clock of three,5 GHz. The CPU managed to spice up as much as 4,09 GHz, nevertheless, we’re positive that these aren’t closing clocks and the precise product ought to have even larger frequencies. Paired with Gen12 Xe graphics, the Rocket Lake platform may provide a really good different to AMD choices within the backport of Willow Cove goes nicely. Even although it’s nonetheless utilizing a 14 nm node, efficiency can be good. The solely issues that may be sacrificed (from backporting) are die area and effectivity/warmth.
