Rocket Lake

[AOD_BobNoxiousUSA]

Any Intel lovers out there getting excited about the upcoming Rocket Lake processor release?

I may be ready to re-build again this spring with Z590, i7-11700K, and a PCIe 4.0 nvme 980 pro.

Depends on pricing. I switched to ryzen after about 10 years of hating on AMD for their constant mediocrity. Now Intel is meh. Performance is still there but they can keep their double the power consumption per core for similar performance lol. They are way behind and zen 4 is rumored to have a 29% IPC improvement. Also 8 cores is good for gaming but that's all they can manage on 11th gen and then the sockets dead again. Weak.

You saying pass on Rocket Lake and wait another 6 months (translation 1 year for normal consumers) for Alder Lake?

Yes

I was planning to since Ryzen CPUs are so impossible to find, but then I was hearing there's a bigger update coming in the last half of 2021 so I'll probably end up waiting now. I may just sit out this gen really. Really wanted/need to upgrade (current CPU is an OC'd 4770k) but it's been impossible to find hardware.
