If you’re questioning why Intel’s not-so impressive Rocket Lake CPUs even exist, know the company actually green lit the processors two years ago when the chip maker was facing less competition from rival AMD.
In a Reddit Ask Me Anything, Intel revealed it began official work on its Rocket Lake CPUs in the first quarter of 2019. The “product concept” stage for Rocket Lake closed during that period, according to Intel’s marketing staffer Alejandro Hoyos, meaning the processor’s features including the cores, were all defined.
The company was then able to launch Rocket Lake as Intel’s new 11th generation Core desktop processors two years later. However, the flagship product, the Core i9-11900K, has received some mediocre to downright dismal reviews amid this week’s official product launch. PCMag itself recommends you check out AMD’s Ryzen 5000 CPUs or even Intel’s older 10th generation Core chips before buying.
