i7-10700K to the i7-11700K

Jesus. Just overclocking the RAM for the 10700k would give a similar performance increase. Along with 291W, this 10nm->14nm backport is not working out well for Intel.

PS My work desktop died on Wednesday afternoon during the SpaceX SN10 flight. I rushed to my local computer store to replace it. Out of the entire store, only 2 motherboards models with Intel's LGA1200 are in stock. All the other motherboards on the shelf were for AMD.

I picked the i5 10400f as it's under deep discount. I asked around and everyone agrees that Intel is competing only on price point right now.

Is it a backport? I read somewhere that it's a continuation of Skylake evolution and not a new architecture.

Is it a backport? I read somewhere that it's a continuation of Skylake evolution and not a new architecture.

According to the article,

"The new generation Rocket Lake is the combination of two different backported technologies. Intel took the Sunny Cove core from 10nm Ice Lake, and re-built it on 14nm, calling it now Cypress Cove. Intel also took the Xe graphics from 10nm Tiger Lake and re-built those on 14nm, but these are still called Xe graphics."

So, yes, it appears to be a backport.
