Intel s 14nm Rocket Lake-S processors, in an era where AMD is at 7nm and smartphone processors are at 5nm, are Intel s newest 11th-gen processors, led by its flagship Intel Core i9-11900K, with Intel not having released an i9 range until AMD s challenge a few years ago.
Intel is a great example of why competition matters. For most of the 2010s, it released new generations of Core i-Series processors with what were more or less incremental improvements on a year-by-year basis, even if it is obvious that a 2021 processor is much better than one from 5 or 10 year ago.
Intel has been shamed by AMD s processor leadership and dominance over the past few years, so much so that Intel was forced to release a Core i9 series processor to compete, something Intel had never bothered to do in the decade or so before that.

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.
Samsung Galaxy A32 5G: One of the few alternatives with an LCD panel
Galaxy A32 5G
The Samsung Galaxy A32 is one of the few 5G smartphones that uses a flicker-free LC display. This might have some drawbacks, but it s also a concession made to customers who have problems with OLEDs.

The LC display is one of the points of criticism in the review of the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G. Especially compared to the 4G variant, which uses a Super AMOLED display at Full HD resolution and even runs at 90 Hz (as we report), the device looks like a major downgrade.
Intel Core i7-11800H in possible Samsung Notebook 7 Force refresh produces passable Geekbench 5 scores that offer small gains over the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H

A Tiger Lake-H45 processor in the form of the Intel Core i7-11800H has been spotted on Geekbench, seemingly as a key component in a new Samsung Notebook 7 Force laptop. The i7-11800H hit 4.59 GHz and offered mixed results against the Intel Core i7-10875H and slight gains against the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H.
