It's been officially confirmed! Intel's lineup of Rocket Lake-S CPUs will be available from the end of March. The new 11th gen CPUs bring PCIe 4.0 support to Intel's desktop chips for the first time, helping you take advantage of the fastest and best SSD for gaming, although it's still running on the same 14nm process and 1200 socket as the previous generation. You'll see a more drastic change with the 12th generation Alder Lake-S range, which is coming later this year, with a brand new 10nm process and LGA 1700 socket.
Thanks to the recent announcement, we've got more information about the top CPU in the range, the i9 11900K, in addition to the earlier leaks and rumours. The previous generation i9 was good enough to make our best gaming CPU roundup - could this new one be the same?
Initial leaks of the processor's performance in an Ashes of the Singularity benchmark were somewhat disappointing when compared to AMD's flagship offerings, but that particular benchmark is not the most accurate way to estimate a CPU's potential. With official benchmarks from Intel here, we now have a better idea.
