Not too great but on the other hand I think that peoples expectations of Intel are pretty low nowadays when AMD has gained so much. Unfortunately AMD has done several mistakes too with latest Zen launch and avoiding them might have would probably have made even less people look at Intel for gaming. The real battle vs AMD will be with Alder Lake no doubt, this release was just to keep everything afloat.

If you ignore power consumption, I'd consider this pretty good - it's only slightly slower than the 10900K despite lacking a pair of cores. But yikes... that power consumption is atrocious. I'm sure it's a similar situation to the Ryzen 3000 series, where roughly 15W are due to PCIe 4.0, but that only explains the higher idle wattage. Under load though, that's a whole other situation. It's pretty bad when CPUs with more than double the amount of cores are the only ones more power hungry.

Rocket Lake is trying to make something good out of a bad situation. They got back what they wanted gaming from what I can see from various reviews. The fact they got this much out of 14nm is impressive. I'm surprised how well it competes with MT with less cores/threads too.
I think the lower parts are more interesting right now especially with the GPU shortage situation. I'd rather have Rocket Lake with its newer onboard GPU if I had to wait for a new GPU.
Looking more forward to Alder Lake
