Intel Rocket Lake 8-core processor surfaces in geekbench
Eben though Comet Lake processors (current-generation Intel desktop processors) are hard to get in stores, the following generation already was spotted and benchmarked iN geekbenchG
Rocket Lake has been talked about a lot already, reportedly getting a new architecture but fabbed at at 14 nanometers. An 8-core model from the 11th generation Core processors has surfaced in the Geekbench database.
The chip has eight cores and sixteen threads, a base clock speed of 3.2 GHz and the highest recorded clock was 4.3 GHz (engineering sample) OIntersting is a 512 KB of L2 cache per core, which is equal to the Sunny Cove architecture. You can see 32 execution units present, that's your Gen 12 IGP and expected to be based on Intel's Xe graphics architecture. It runs max 1,150 MHz during the openCL benchmark. A score of ~6,200 points was achieved, which puts the Rocket Lake chip just below, for example, Nvidia's GeForce 940MX (~6,500 points) and AMD's integrated Vega 6 (~6,900).
Rocket Lake would be the last processor series compatible with the current 400 series chipset motherboards, LGA1200 processor. It would support PCI Express 4.0 support.

Isn't the arch supposed to be all about power saving?

Looking at the score that seems to be the case.

Always good to see more trash from Intel, if only they keep being nr.2 performance wise for decade or so, we should get closer to a somewhat equal playing field between AMD and Intel. Good for everyone(besides intel ofc)

This could enable some very interesting laptops. I bet they were rushing so that they could keep Apple, but apparently that ship had sailed since Skylake.

A bit early to see Rocket Lake already. Been only a couple months since Comet Lake release.
New arch is exciting, however with Intel stance that benchmark doesn't matter, I guess it will be side grade regarding performance. I guess there will be more performance gain on iGPU side, rather than CPU.
according to wiki, Rocket Lake is aimed at 2H 2020.
