Hmmm, another 14nm from Intel? Not a fan.

At least we are getting more cores now , the same cores for many years but more , thats good i was sick of getting the same 4 core parts with a small increase in clocks sold as a new gen .

Where's the "Intel"? / You have the "Intel"?....in movies..though in REAL LIFE also...... you can hear these....
but i've never heard Where's the "AMD"?:p

let's put AMD in the mix now:
1) Zen 3 is being done in TSMC's N7P process, which in itself brings a confirmed +7% performance gain or 10% reduction in power consumption when compared with the process used to make Zen 2 - we can safely guess which option AMD will pick due to Zen 2 already being very power efficient;
2) On top of that, AMD claims "typical increase in IPC from a generational leap", which industry common sense has translated to 15~20% gain in IPC. Even if that is not true and the IPC increase is in a very conservative 10% range, that still puts a lot of performance into those processors when combined with 1
3) All of that will supposedly launch at the same time frame as intel's 11th gen, meaning that intel won't have any other response for at least another 6 months
TLDR: I wouldn't bet on intel now.
Errm, yes, we all know that. I'm not even comparing intel to AMD here, it's more an intel 10th gen vs 11th gen and how the latter will be pointless for the following reasons:
1) 14nm process from intel is very likely at its peak performance, due to age and laws of physic;
2) due to 1, clocks will probably not go too far from where they are now - single core 5,3ghz seems to be the practical hard wall of intel's 14nm with lakes architecture, as seen from overclocks from even 6th and 7th gens;
3) considering that 5,3ghz already spends a LOT of energy and needs a LOT of cooling, intel can't go any further in that department, which means...
4) IPC increase is their only option to gain performance in 14nm now, or else 11th gen will be pointless / the same as 10th gen plus pci-e 4
That is already a bleak scenario, but
