Rocket Lake-S could be substantially faster for games than the current Comet Lake-S

Rocket Lake-S could be substantially faster for games than the current Comet Lake-S

Intel Rocket Lake-S processors, the 11th generation for desktop PCs that will arrive in March 2021, but they be able to beat AMD Ryzen 5000 in gaming, that's the new and unprecedented thumb of rule in 2021. 

Social media leaker ITCooker thinks that the three strongest points of the new generation of processors could be in favor of Intel. Support for the PCI-Express 4.0 interface is mentioned and that the use of the AVX512 instructions can achieve better performance, although this leads to the flagship 8-core CPU getting a lot of temperature. He talks about an improvement in the CPU cache memory, with 48 KB for the level 1 (L1) cache and 512 KB for the L2 cache. These numbers are remarkable when compared to the current Comet Lake-S (32 KB L1 / 256 KB L2).

The leaker also reports that despite continuing to be based on 14 nm, thanks to the new architecture we will see "a real jump in performance", indicating that we will have a significant improvement in the gaming section.

A second 'leak'

It's hearsay, and not much more. But Twitter user MebiuW (Twitter (1) , Twitter (2)) claims to have information about the upcoming i7 and i9 CPUs. Both the Core i7 and i9 are said to have 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with 16MB of L3 cache. The i9 has to distinguish itself by higher clock speeds, for a higher price. With a boost clock around 5.5 GHz, the Core i9 would be positioned against the Ryzen 7 5800X at the same price of $ 449. The i7 has to do with a maximum boost clock of 5 to 5.2 GHz, and should compete against a future Ryzen 7 5700X. According to the Twitterer, the Intel CPU will change hands for less than $ 400.

Now, there's no substantial source info for that, 5.5 GHz seems way too far fetched for a 14nm processor. But hey, sho knows, these are exciting times in the CPU arena.

The amount of cache would go finally on par with ryzen.

AMD had 5GHz on 32nm, while 32nm was pretty early and bad.
Why Intel wouldn't do 5.5GHz on a REALLLLYYYY matured 14nm?

Could be is a key word here. Also, 8core i9? Is that the best you can do intel?

So Intel ticktock has gone from alternative smaller process and architectural changes to instead throwing more cache at it and trying to going for GHz, in memory of the old Pentium days.....

Having said that if it gives the performance then does it matter how it is done, as long as the price is ok.
