Thank you to a contempo press release from Gigabyte, we at present know that Intel's new Rocket Lake-Southward desktop CPUs are coming in March 2022. Intel announced late last year that the new processors would be arriving sometime during the first quarter of the year.

Gigabyte states in the release "[t]he latest 11th Gen. Intel Core processors will be launched on March 2022. The new processors go on the same architecture as the previous generation but they enable the PCIe 4.0 support."

Criterion scores were leaked recently and Windows Central reported the following that Geekbench scores from the octa-core Core i7-11700K processor showed up on Twitter. The single-cadre result of 7,857 sailed by the Core i9-10900K CPU as well every bit the Ryzen 5950X, which netted 6,438 and 7,198 (courtesy of AnandTech). On the multi-core test, the 11700K reached 42,011crushing the Core i9-10900K's 41,663.

Previously, Intel promised double-digit gains with the new Rocket Lake-S chips, obviously feeling massive force per unit area from AMD and definitely from Apple since the release of the new ARM-based, M1 processor a few months back in November. All eyes are on Intel equally the CPU maker after information technology announced the upcoming twelfth generation Alder Lake processors that should debut sometime in 2022.

Intel was very coy about the new processor, but did mention that Alder Lake will use a 10nm SuperFin process. The company as well stated information technology would utilize a technique similar to ARM's hybrid concept of combining the use of both high performance and loftier-efficiency cores to achieve a performance level like to Apple's M1.

Of course, Intel didn't mention ARM or Apple by name but, the clock appears to be tickling loudly on the company's days of beingness the mainstream CPU leader. AMD has seen an uptick in manufacturers choosing its processors over Intel. It's sink or swim time for Intel every bit they've been slacking a bit in the innovation department for a while at present.
