Intel 11th-generation Rocket Lake-S CPU spotted on Geekbench


An Intel Rocket Lake-S processor with 8-cores and 16-threads has appeared on Geekbench ahead of its rumored launch in 2021.

The processor, which is expected to bring an architecture change from Sky-lake for the first time in five years, is listed as having a base clock of 3.2 GHz and boost clock of 4.3 GHz, which suggests this is the same chip that showed up earlier this month.


This latest leak details the processor’s built-in i GPU, which reportedly sports 32 Compute Units, with a core clock frequency of 1.15 GHz and 6.33 GB of V-RAM. However, although the i GPU is expected to be using the Intel Xe graphics architecture

Rocket Lake will continue to be based on 14 nm, it's expected that Intel's upcoming Willow Cave architecture – which will also be used for Tiger Lake CPU,s – will deliver decent IPC gains, with early rumors suggesting a boost of up to 25%. 

This latest leak, it’s also widely expected that Intel’s Rocket Lake-S processors are also rumored to work with the chip maker's new Z490 motherboards, and will boast PCIe 4.0 support. 


Intel is expected to launch its Rocket Lake-S processors in the first half of 2021.
