We know that intel will be launching its Rocket Lake CPUs in the Q1 of 2021. Earlier, we have seen the fab manufacturer introducing its Rocket Lake-S CPUs, and it confirmed our suspicion about the flagship SKUs. According to previous rumors, the SKUs will have eight-core and 16 threads. But recently, new stories are floating around the internet, and they seem to speak about the leaked base and boost clocks of the Rocket Lake-S CPUs.

According to the leaker *@harukaze5719* on Twitter, the Core i9-11900K offering eight cores and 16 threads comes with a 3.5 GHz base clock. It also has a 5.3 GHz single-core Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) along with a 4.8 GHz all-core boost and a 16 MB cache. The Rocket Lake flagship seems to have lower core counts and lower cache at 16 MB compared to its Comet Lake counterpart.

Intel earlier announced that the Rocket Lake-S would have PL1 of 125 W and a PL2 of 250 W. It will potentially make the chip consume more energy and run hotter than its Comet Lake predecessor. The leak also suggests that the Core i7-11700K seems to be clocked slower than the Core i7-10700K.

According to sources, Rocket Lake-S will be based on the Cypress Cove architecture that combines Ice Lake cores with a Tiger Lake iGPU on a 14 nm process. While all these specs and information are just leaks and rumors, it should be taken with a salt pinch. Rather than offering a little performance difference than its predecessors, Intel should work hard to upgrade its wafers’ specifications.
