Anandtech has let the cat out of the bag some 3 weeks early! breaking Intel's embargo that's keeping the big tech toobers mouths tightly closed on their 11th Gen CPU's that were supposed to be the answer to AMD's highly successful Zen 3 5000 CPU's.
Unfortunately just as many techies were expecting Intel's 8 core 14+++++ nanometre CPU's are a big fat FAIL, if it were a rocket then it would have exploded on LAUNCH!
Even at stock settings Intel's rocket lake 8 core processors under load RUN VERY HOT At over 80c, which is not surprising given they consume an eye watering 225watts of power for an 8 core processor, even worse are spikes to over 290watts! Compare that against a 5950x with TWICE the cores that consumes 225watts so it's no wonder that Intel dropped the core count from 10th gen 10 cores to 11th gen's 8 cores.
