Intel could reveal its Alder Lake-S processors for enthusiasts as soon as next week, but the ongoing stream of leaks is slowly driving the hype train off.
It looks like Intel seemingly forgot to release graphics drivers for its new 11th Gen Core “Rocket Lake-S” processors. The Intel UHD graphics 750 drivers and software page is currently empty, although there is a workaround for this using Windows Update.
The news was shared by AdoredTV, who noticed the lack of drivers after someone asked him for help installing them. When looking for drivers for the Intel UHD graphics 750, they were nowhere to be found on the “drivers and software”.
If you’re wondering how some press members reviewed the new iGPU, Intel shared a pre-release driver with them. This allowed reviewers to test and benchmark the UHD graphics 750.

The Cypress Cove architecture is a 14nm backport of the 10nm Sunny Cove
Intel s 11th Gen desktop CPUs, known by their code name Rocket Lake , have just been announced. Aimed primarily at gamers and desktop enthusiasts, these CPUs are based on a new Cypress Cove core architecture and many of them feature more powerful integrated Intel Xe graphics capabilities including AI acceleration. Interestingly, Rocket Lake marks a major departure from the iterative 14nm CPU refreshes that Intel has been releasing for the past five years as it struggles with 10nm production capacity. The company has adapted its 10nm Sunny Cove architecture, on which the

The past year or so hasn’t been great for Intel if you’re thinking of PC chips – its smaller rival AMD stole much of its thunder with more powerful Ryzen chips as the market leader struggled to find a response. Well, today, Intel has unveiled its new 11th-gen Core S-series desktop processors.
More well known by the codename Rocket Lake-S, the new chips are built on a processor architecture called Cypress Cove. This is big because it finally replaces the previous Skylake architecture that has been around for the past five years – dinosaur-age in the chip industry.
As we get closer to a major launch, there is a good chance that we’ll see presentation leaks detailing upcoming tech early. This time around, two slides from Intel’s Rocket Lake launch presentation have leaked, detailing the full Core i9 and Core i7 line-up in addition to some gaming performance benchmarks.
The two slides appeared on Chinese social media platform, Weibo (via @9550pro). The first slide details each Core i7 and Core i9 “Rocket Lake” SKU and the specs seem to mostly match the latest rumours.
Some standouts include the 8C/16T Core i9-11900K and KF variant reaching 5.3/4.8GHz through Thermal Velocity Boost 3.0 (TVB 3.0). The non-K i9 CPUs will also feature TVB 3.0 (except the i9-11900T), offering a single and multi-core turbo frequency of up to 5.2GHz and a multi-core frequency of up to 4.7GHz. As per the slide, the 11th Gen Core i7 won’t feature TVB 3.0, but these processors are still listed as having a 5GHz boost through Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3
