Kennedy: Well no, I wouldn't call it a stopgap. Where does that leave the 11th Gen, really? Has this been a lot of effort just for a temporary stopgap generation? Gadgets 360: Intel has been talking a lot about the 12th Gen (Alder Lake) which is coming up later this year. The key improvements of the 11th Gen 'Rocket Lake' architecture Are we losing out on any features? Well, no, but when we do make that jump to 10nm, obviously you would gain the benefits of the greater efficiencies that you get with scaling down. Kennedy: We've backported the 10nm process onto 14nm, so though the transistors are larger we are still taking advantage of the core and graphics IP benefits. Gadgets 360: So is there anything major that we lose out on by not having Rocket Lake using 10nm? Part of what that does and how we're bringing that to market is through the GNA, the Gaussian Neural Accelerator, in the silicon that enables these AI usages, and that's inside the integrated graphics. Kennedy: AI inference in general is what I'm talking about. Gadgets 360: Can you talk more about the AI features?

But we're also bringing AI for the first time to the S series (desktop segment) which helps enable a lot of incredible performance on things like object detection and speech recognition as well. We've got 50 percent better integrated graphics performance as we are including the new XE integrated architecture that was launched with Tiger Lake earlier this year. We've got 19 percent IPC (Instructions Per Clock) improvement, generation over generation. Marcus Kennedy: With Rocket Lake, we know that we are going to be delivering unmatched speeds and better game performance on release, and also greater efficiency and increased workflow productivity with our first new core architecture on desktops in five years. Gadgets 360: So what's new with Rocket Lake, and what should enthusiasts be most excited about? Gadgets 360 caught up with Marcus Kennedy, General Manager, Gaming Division, Client Computing Group at Intel, to talk about the 11th Gen desktop Core CPU launch, his outlook for gaming, and what's in store for anyone who might be considering an upgrade. Considering all this, there's a lot that gamers, enthusiasts, overclockers, and even casual users will want to know. This approach allows the company to keep using its established and mature manufacturing capabilities while bringing new features and improvements to market. Instead of prolonging the wait further, Intel has taken the surprising step of leveraging its relatively more modern 10nm ‘Ice Lake' architecture, but has backported it to a 14nm manufacturing process to get it out into the market. This isn't another minor 14nm update, like we've seen for the past several years, as Intel struggled with 10nm manufacturing capacity.

Intel's 11th Gen ‘Rocket Lake' Core i9, Core i7, and Core i5 desktop CPUs should soon be available for everyone across the world to buy.
