The 11-generation Core is still a 14nm process from the current situation, but with the new architecture, the single-core performance will advance by leaps and leaps. It is not a problem to beat the Zen3 architecture Ryzen 5000 series, but it will not be too far ahead, and the multi-core performance will be entirely behind; after all, it only has eight cores and 16 threads at most.


Only the i9, i7, and i5 series of Rocket Lake 11 are new architectures, while the lower-end i3, Pentium, and Celeron series are all examples of Comet Lake 10 Core's increased frequency.


According to the latest news, these batches of i3, Pentium, Celeron will not be classified into the 11th generation family sequence; the models will still belong to the 10th generation i3-10305 i3-10305f, i3-10105, i3-10105f, and so on.
