The "Rocket Lake-S" microarchitecture by Intel sees the company back-port its next-generation "Willow Cove" CPU core to the existing 14 nm++ silicon fabrication process in the form of an 8-core die with a Gen12 Xe iGPU. An engineering sample of one such processor made it to the Futuremark database. Clocked at 3.20 GHz with 4.30 GHz boost frequency, the "Rocket Lake-S" ES was put through 3DMark "Fire Strike" and "Time Spy," with its iGPU in play, instead of a discrete graphics card.

In "Fire Strike," the "Rocket Lake-S" ES scores 18898 points in the physics test, 1895 points in the graphics tests, and an overall score of 1746 points. With "Time Spy," the overall score is 605, with a CPU score of 4963 points, and graphics score of 524. The 11th generation Core "Rocket Lake-S" processor is expected to be compatible with existing Intel 400-series chipset motherboards, and feature a PCI-Express gen 4.0 root complex. Several 400-series chipset motherboards have PCIe gen 4.0 preparation for exactly this. The increased IPC from the "Willow Cove" cores is expected to make the 8-core "Rocket Lake-S" a powerful option for gaming and productivity tasks that don't scale across too many cores.
 
It's still sad that Intel is still pushing 14nm manufacturing.

I would probably prefer more than eight cores now to be honest.

At 14nm that would be an issue.
I'm more excited about AMD's next gen CPU to be honest.

Hey man.  Cmon, man.  Let's all stop focusing on benchmarks. Sad frownie face

Of course, lol.

Nice CPU score
 
Just because it was an Engineering sample ... In No way indicates Intel Sanctioned the test or release of the information ... many samples are distribute
 
Majority of Consumer software is "Hard Coded for single thread" .... especially Games ... this is why 1 Fast Core can out perform CPU with more cores
 
More than 6 - 8 Cores is just not needed by most ...
 
I have several 6-Core & one 8-Core CPU & in Most applications they are No Faster than any of my 4-Core CPUs
 
Hey, if you have the software to use those Core - then buy them

While I agree most don't need more than 8 cores and with the new Xbox and PS5 being 8 core I don't see that trend changing anytime soon I will disagree on the "Majority of Consumer software is "Hard Coded for single thread" .... especially Games ... " While a true statement in 2013 that is no longer the case. Even Intel tried to say that recently in a press slide and when asked for clarification, it was removed. Because while a true statement on older obsolete software it's not true of modern software, even phone apps now days are optimized for multiple cores.
 
That would be like me saying people talk more on the phone then look at the phone using data, while a true statement many years ago its not currently accurate and becoming less all the time.

So you think more than 55% of consumer software is coded for multi-core ?
 
thanks for the Video .. but what time stamp has the info you want to show ...
 
I can't take 27 min of these poorly done videos ... always seems there is never a script .. just what ever crosses his mind as he goes ..
 
Jumping through I did not see anything very relevant ... but guess I missed "the key point" ?

I bolded games and I checked the video, I guess it linked it incorrectly, it started 5 seconds too soon. Also yes I do think going forward more than 55% of software is coded for multi core. Less than 75% games need a 2080ti, but I don't think people are stupid for buying one, most here are enthusiast and want the best.

Poorly done videos? Gamers Nexus videos are great.

There is a script. And all of his time stamps are on the left side of the video.

Relevant info starts at 15:45 according to the timestamp on the left side in the video.

Did he just call "Tech Jesus" videos poorly done? 
 
eeesh...um ok. 

 
the man rambles IMO ..... Not Clear & Concise ...  I would much prefer a "reader digest version"
 
I'm not saying the video quality is bad Or that there is no Technical depth .... just don't take 10 min to tell me 2 min worth of information

Of course, lol.

Easy to say when the benchmarks show your CPUs getting thrashed by the competition. They couldn't flaunt it enough when they had the lead though.
