Chinese news outlet ijiandao (opens in new tab) (via Harukaze5719 (opens in new tab) ) has reportedly shared the general specifications for Intel’s upcoming Rocket Lake and Comet Lake Refresh processors. Apparently, both families will live under the same 11th-Gen moniker. Rocket Lake, which is the more interesting lineup out of the two, will arrive furnished with Intel’s 14nm Cypress Cove cores and Xe graphics. Like AMD , Intel has promised double-digit instruction per cycle (IPC) uplifts . The first leaked benchmark submissions have revealed that there might be some truth to Intel’s word. However, Rocket Lake’s multi-core performance remains to be seen since the new chips will max out at eight cores, a big regression compared to Comet Lake that pushed the maximum configuration to 10 cores. Above all, Rocket Lake will, at last, bring PCIe 4.0 support to an Intel mainstream platform. Intel is last to the party since PCIe 4.0 support was already present in AMD’s previous-gen Ryzen 3000 (codename Matisse) processors that debuted one year ago.
