Intel's Rocket Lake is one of the most anxiously anticipated launch in almost a decade. It marks the first move away from the wider Skylake macro-architecture (since Haswell) and the first major revision for Intel on the 14nm process. This is the first platform from Intel that supports PCIe 4.0 and also the first of the "Jim Keller parts" on Desktop - created by the same guy that designed AMD's Zen. Intel has managed to deliver an outstanding IPC of 19% while staying on the same process (which is a phenomenal gain) and will be competitive with AMD's Zen again for the first time in almost a year.

Based on the numbers we are seeing, we even think that the flagship SKUs will beat out AMD's Zen 3 offerings core for core although whether AMD's higher core parts retain the gaming performance crown remains to be seen (Rocket Lake is limited to 8 cores). Intel's Rocket Lake processor also contain Intel Deep Learning Boost and up to 50% better integrated graphics performance.
