Intel Rocket Lake-S Based i9 Fails to Beat the Ryzen 9 5900X in ST or MT Performanceedit
Intel’s upcoming 11th Gen Rocket Lake-S processors will feature the Sunny Cove core architecture which the company is calling Cypress core for some reason. It will be the first architectural upgrade since 2016’s Skylake: That’s nearly 5 years since a new core was introduced in the desktop space. AMD launched Zen, Zen 2, and Zen 3 in the same interval while Intel kept adding pluses to its 14nm node. Regardless, Rocket Lake’s single-threaded performance is looking pretty solid.

Overclocked Radeon RX 6800 XT @ 2.55GHz Reportedly Locks Horns with the RTX 3090edit
AMD’s Radeon RTX 6800 XT apparently manages to reach boost clocks of 2.55GHz on board partner models when overclocked. That is 300MHz higher than the stock boost clock of 2.25GHz. Before we continue, please take this report with a grain of salt as GPU-Z doesn’t take into account whether the overclock is stable. Regardless, this is an impressive achievement as AMD has already promised rather lofty overclocking capabilities from its Big Navi graphics cards due to the use of the Infinity Cache which significantly cuts down latency.

Apple’s biggest chip gamble yetedit
Apple spent most of its event Tuesday arguing against this notion, boasting of the superior performance specifications of its new chips. Only time will tell if those claims hold up. Pierre Ferragu of New Street Research notes that Apple is using a chip architecture “that is fundamentally different from what Intel and AMD do.” Alternatively, Stacy Rasgon of Bernstein says that Apple’s success with its new in-house Mac processors could serve as “existence proof” for other non-x86 chips in the PC and server markets—damaging Intel’s position even further.
