The Core i3 models feature 4 cores and 8 threads but all variants except the Core i3-11100 series feature 8 MB of L3 cache versus 6 MB of L3 cache on these CPUs. The Pentium line processors feature 2 cores, 4 threads, & 4 MB of L3 cache while the Celeron line only gets 2 cores and no multi-thread support. These cracks also carry 4 MB of L3 cache though. The Core i3 and Pentium models feature UHD 630 graphics with 24 EU while the Celeron SKUs get UHD 610 graphics with 12 EU.
The source also reports that only high-end Z490 desktops will be able to fully support Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs due to the new power requirements required for compatibility.
Here’s everything we know about the 11th generation desktop CPU
Intel’s Rocket Lake-S desktop CPU platform will feature support for an LGA 1200 socket that first debuted with the 10th Gen Comet Lake-S CPUs even though they were on 400-series motherboards. The Intel Rocket Lake-S processors launch specifically for the 500-series motherboards but it has been proven that LGA 1200 motherboards will offer support for Rocket Lake-S CPUs, especially since PCIe Gen 4.0 is an obvious feature of Z490 motherboards that would only be enabled using Rocket Lake-S desktop CPUs. Motherboard manufacturers, especially ASUS are paying extra attention to the introduction of PCIe Gen 4 hard-core integration on their Z590 line of motherboards versus their Z490 line as we pointed out. seo.
Key features of Intel Rocket Lake desktop CPUs include:
- Increased performance with the new basic Cypress Cove architecture
- Up to 8 cores and 16 threads (Advantages of Dual Digit IPC over Skylake)
- New Xe graphics architecture (Up to 50% Higher Gen9 Performance)
- DDR4 3200 MHz enhanced memory support
- PCIe 4.0 CPU Blades (Available on Z490 & Z590 Motherboards)
- Enhanced display (Integrated HDMI 2.0b, DP1.4a, HBR3)
- Added x4 CPU PCIe Lanes = 20 Full CPU PCIe 4.0
- Advanced Media (12 bit compression AV1 / HVEC, E2E)
- CPU connected storage or Intel Optane memory
- New overclocking features and capabilities
- USB Audio Charge
- CNVi Integrated & Wireless-AX
- Integrated USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20G)
- 2.5Gb Ethernet split LAN
- Intel Thunderbolt 4 Unique (USB4 Compliant)
Cypress Cove is said to be the architecture for Rocket Lake CPUs which is reportedly a mix between the design of Sunny Cove and Willow Cove but will have the Xe Gen 12 GPU architecture. Intel’s Core i9-11900K will be the main CPU offering in the lineup and more details about it are expected soon.
