Benchmark leaks purporting to give us a performance glimpse of Intel’s upcoming 11th Gen Core desktop processors based on Rocket Lake are kind of all over the place.

Intel is promising big things from its upcoming Rocket Lake-S CPUs, including upgraded features like PCI Express 4.0 support and faster memory, and of course a double-digit bump in IPC (instructions per clock) performance. In the early going, we have seen a mix of benchmark leaks, some more promising than others. Now as we head into the home

Quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, Samsung has had a death-grip on the number one spot.
