Intel is now desperate to launch its upcoming 11th Gen CPUs to counter AMD’s never-seen-before Ryzen 5000 series processors as they have completely outthrown Intel in gaming this time. Although Intel is said to have doubled its chip production in the last three years its prolonged struggle with 14nm process is frustrating.
11th Gen Rocket Lake will again be a refreshed Sky Lake with the same “tick-tock” increments down the years. Although you cannot expect any major benefits with this generation but still the paper launch to counter AMD is still not known certainly.
One thing Intel needs to learn from AMD will surely be the commitment and simplicity of its products, Intel has been confusing people with names of its CPUs, doing no actual improvements with its desktop CPUs, which need motherboard upgrade every year.
As per @OneRaichu, it seems Intel wants to start off with the mass production of these Rocket Lake CPUs as early as next month. Also the leaked roadmap does really show that although the RTS (Ready To Ship) date is around 12th to 21st week of 2021, Intel wants to bring its processors sooner.
This shouldn’t be a problem if the mass production gets started as it has already gone through the production of engineering samples back in June and a refined version came in August.
Whereas in November, Intel has started manufacturing qualification samples whose leaks have been spotted multiple times. Also these samples went for qualification hardware evaluation in the same month and its just a matter of time when we will see these processors in action, the main question being can they overtake AMD Ryzen 5000?
