Sxynix Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Intel's new Rocket Lake processors are its big answer to AMD’s Ryzen 5000 chips, and on the face of it, this is going to be a very interesting face-off once the embargo is lifted on reviews. That's because, rather than follow the trend of more cores and a denser architecture, Intel has actually reduced the number of cores. Intel claims that this change will lead to a 19% improvement in instruction per cycle (IPC) throughput and can lead to max speeds of 5.3GHz. Alongside improved performance (at least in applications that aren't heavily threaded), Rocket Lake will also include PCIe 4.0 interface adoption, AVX-512 support and a claimed 50% increase in Xe-powered integrated graphics performance.

If you're convinced, though, we've set up this page to collect all the different places where you can buy or pre-order a Rocket Lake CPU.

The best price comes from Best Buy, which is offering the i5-11600K for $269.99, whereas the most expensive is Micro Center at $319. Looking for something a little more on the cheaper side? B&H have just started taking pre-orders on the i5-11400F CPU too at just $167.95.
