Intel today (Tuesday) announced the launch of the 11th Gen Intel Core series (code name Rocket Lake-S), new desktop processors developed led by teams from Intel Israel and in collaboration with other teams from around the world, showing a huge 19% improvement in performance over the previous generation. Intel Core processors.
The series’ new flagship processor, the Core i9-11900K, is the most powerful that Intel has produced for gamers and even reaches a speed of 5.3 GHz – the highest available on the market today. Intel’s recommendation for processor prices ranges from $ 157 to $ 539, depending on the type of processor.
The new processors include, for the first time, a new architecture called Cypress Cove, and a new graphics chip – UHD Graphics, which improves the graphics capabilities by 50% compared to the previous generation. Also, the 11th generation Rocket Lake-S processors will support updated PCI 4.0 devices for the first time, and they include 20 PCIe 4.0 channels.
“Rocket Lake’s flagship processor is the most powerful gaming processor Intel has ever launched, as well as its competitors, and delivers excellent performance that places it as a leader in the global gaming market,” said Sharon Almoznino, who led the development of Rocket Lake processors. “Compared to Intel’s previous flagship processor, the Core i9-10900K, it achieves a double – digit improvement in the performance it provides in running computer games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator and Total War Three Kingdoms.”
Intel notes that the new series of processors also show significant improvements in content creation and productivity. For example, the artificial intelligence capabilities of processors make it possible to perform video editing at a higher level by tens of percent than that provided by previous generation processors and competing processors.
In addition, Intel will offer unlocked core processors (memory overclocking) and will allow for the first time the memory acceleration (memory overclocking), so that consumers can change the power, voltage, core and memory settings, and other key values in the processor to get more performance.
“I am very proud of our employees in Israel that despite the challenges of the period and the severe Corona limitations that forced hundreds of them to work from home, they managed in just two years from the moment of development to launch the new processor that becomes a leader in the gaming market. Architecture), and developed an excellent processor that takes the lead over AMD’s flagship processor in most of the metrics tested, “Almoznino concluded.
