Intel has introduced the 11th generation Core, 14nm Rocket Lake processors

It is the eleventh generation of processors called Core and a total of 6-7. generation of Intel desktop CPUs manufactured by 14nm manufacturing process. Intel said Rocket Lake.

On desktops, the top model is the Core i9–11900K core with a clock speed of up to 5.3 GHz, the Intel UHD Graphics 750 graphics core (which is the Intel Xe / Gen12 GPU), 20 PCI Express 4.0 lines upwards (of which 16 for standalone graphics in the first slot), DDR4–3200, AI part of Intel Gaussian Neural Accelerator 2.0 (GNA 2.0), extensive connectivity (2.5Gbit Ethernet, 20Gbit USB 3.2 Gen 2 × 2, Wi-Fi / BT (CNVi AC / Wi-Fi 6) Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (2 × 2/160 MHz, Gig +), support for Optane Memory H20 and a host of other common equipment, including Thunderbolt.

Instruction sets up to AVX-512 as well as Deep Learning Boost and VNII (Vector Neural Network Instructions) are not missing. The increase in IPC is reported as + 19%, which is the same increase as what AMD reports between Zen 2 and Zen 3. The graphics part supports the acceleration of all video formats up to 10bit AV1 and 12bit HEVC. The processors are accompanied by 500 series chipsets.

It is also targeting the market by consuming lower versions of up to quad-core H and U series processors designed for laptops, but these are manufactured using the 10nm SuperFIN process (the Rocket Lake desktop is a 14nm implementation of the originally mobile 10nm CPU architecture).
