Intel Rocket Lake-S Desktop-Grade CPUs Specifications And Features Officially Revealed To beat AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Processors?

Intel has unexpectedly offered multiple details about the upcoming Intel Rocket Lake-S desktop-grade processors. These new CPUs will go up against the AMD Ryzen 5000 Series of desktop-grade processors. The details offered by Intel slightly contradict the rumors about these new CPUs.
In a clear attempt to subdue AMD’s launch of the ZEN 3-based AMD Ryzen 5000 Series of Desktop-grade CPUs, Intel has officially revealed several important details about the Intel Rocket Lake-S Desktop series. These new CPUs from Intel will be officially branded as the 11th Gen Core series but it is not immediately clear if the CPUs belonging to the new series will follow the naming scheme pattern of its predecessors.
Intel Rocket Lake-S Desktop-Grade CPUs Based On Cypress Cove, Specifications, Features:
Intel confirmed that Rocket Lake-S will be based on the Cypress Cove architecture. It was previously speculated that the Core Architecture was a backport of Willow Cove (Tiger Lake). However, Intel has confirmed that Cypress Cove is Ice Lake (Sunny Cove) design. What this means is that Intel Rocket Lake is still based on the archaic 14nm Fabrication process. But it will feature a revamped architecture based on the Sunny Cove (Ice Lake) architecture called Cypress Cove.



Will Intel Name The Rocket Lake-S Desktop Parts As Per The Standard Scheme?
The Intel Rocket Lake-S CPUs will officially land on desktops under a name of the 11th Gen Core series. Hence, it would be logical to assume the successor to Core i9-10900K will be named Core i9-11900K. But, the Rocket Lake-S series tops at 8 Cores and 16 Threads configuration. Hence it is unclear how Intel will position a generation of CPU that features fewer cores than the previous generation of Comet Lake CPUs.

Intel’s Rocket Lake is going to be the first major new architecture after quite some time. However, usage of Cypress Cove instead of Willow Cove won’t offer more than 25 percent IPC gains which previous reports were claiming.
