Intel launches 11th generation Core S-series chips, sending a challenge to the “red team”

According to Intel, Rocket Lake-S is capable of overclocking, optimizing gaming performance at the highest level.

11th Gen Intel® Core™ S-series desktop processors (codenamed “Rocket Lake-S”) officially launched worldwide, with Intel® Core™ i9-11900 flagship model . With a maximum acceleration of 5.3 GHz when combined with the Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost feature, the Intel Core i9-11900K promises to deliver super impressive performance for gamers and desktop users.

Intel announces powerful 11th generation Core S-series chips

Built on the Cypress Cove architecture, 11th Gen Intel Core S-series desktop processors are designed to enhance hardware and software performance and increase gaming performance. The new architecture makes the IPC (instructions per clock) 19% higher than the previous generation.

Integrated Intel® UHD Graphics with Intel® Xe graphics architecture for powerful graphics and multimedia needs. This is especially important as most games and applications rely on high-clocked cores to increase frame rates and reduce latency.

Optimized design for gamers

With this new 11th generation PC processor, Intel continues to enhance the performance of desktop gaming and multimedia tasks. Like handling graphics in AAA games at the same time as streaming in high resolution. Optimized integrated graphics performance by more than 50% (compared to the previous generation) as measured by 3DMark.

On the most powerful flagship model, the Intel Core i9-11900K, this new processor delivers outstanding performance with a maximum clock speed of 5.3 GHz, 8 cores, 16 threads and 16 MB Intel® Smart Cache. This 11th generation unlocked version is also compatible with 3200MHz DDR4 RAM for smooth gameplay and seamless multitasking.

The 11th Gen Intel Core S series features support for DDR4-3200, 20 lanes of PCIe 4.0, Intel Quick Sync Video, enhanced picture quality, and enhanced screen resolution. This series of chips also supports Thunderbolt™ 4± and discrete Intel Wi-Fi 6E.

Therefore, this is perhaps considered as Intel’s challenge to the brothers of the “red team”.
