On March 16, Intel officially announced the latest 11th generation processors, codenamed Rocket Lake-S. The leading position belongs to the flagship Intel Core i9-11900K processor, which reaches up to 5.3 GHz and provides even more performance for gamers and PC enthusiasts.
Based on the new Cypress Cove architecture, the 11th Gen Intel Core S-Series processors are designed to improve hardware and software performance. The updated hardware improves the high-frequency cores by 19%, which, in turn, provides high frame rates and low latency.
The 11th Gen processors are expected to take desktop gaming performance to the next level. Gamers rely on the flagship version of the Intel Core i9-11900K, which has 8 cores, 16 threads and 16 MB Intel Smart Cache. In addition, the processor supports high memory speeds with DDR4-3200 to help ensure smooth gaming and seamless multitasking.
It is worth noting that the entire line of 11th generation processors has significant improvements, including:
- increased IPC performance from generation to generation;
- Improve integrated graphics performance by up to 50% with Intel UHD and Intel Xe;
- performance improvements for deep learning workloads that were implemented using the Intel Deep Learning Boost instruction and vector neural network;
- improvement of tools and functions of overclocking.
Intel is currently collaborating with leading game developers. The American company is already ready to offer middleware, a variety of PC games and engines so that users can experience the benefits of the 11th generation Intel Core S series processes.
Rocket Lake-S will go on sale March 30, 2021. It is known that the cost of the Core i9-11900K in the US will be $ 539, the Core i7-11700K – $ 399, and the Core i5-11600K – $ 262. Most likely, the prices for the latest processors in Russia will be slightly higher.
