The next generation of desktop processors from Intel will be the Rocket Lake-S family chips. Earlier, there were rumors about the unusual nature of these chips \u2014 they will be 14nm adaptations of the Willow Cove cores designed for a 10nm process. But now, even stranger information has emerged that the new generation will allegedly feature processors with eight computing cores and twelve threads. And no, we\u2019re not mistaken; this really refers to the \"core formula\" of 8\/12.<\/p>\n

\"Desktop<\/p>\n

This information was shared by the resource VideoCardz, which obtained a snapshot of part of an internal Intel document describing the positioning of the Rocket Lake-S series chips from \"a reliable source.\" Among the rather ordinary Core i5 processors with six cores and twelve threads, as well as Core i9 with eight cores and sixteen threads, there are also unusual Core i7 processors, which have more threads than cores, but not two times, only one and a half times.<\/p>\n

\"Desktop<\/p>\n

It's difficult to say what is behind this peculiar feature at this stage. It\u2019s possible that a mistake simply crept into the document. On the other hand, in the current generation of Comet Lake-S processors, Intel has already implemented the ability to disable Hyper-Threading technology for each individual core. Therefore, from a technical standpoint, an Intel processor with 8 cores and 12 threads is quite feasible.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that in the Coffee Lake Refresh generation, both the Core i9 and Core i7 processors also had 8 cores, but in the Core i7 series, the Hyper-Threading technology was completely disabled. However, for future Rocket Lake-S processors, such a differentiation option is not suitable due to the strengthening of the Core i5 series, where Hyper-Threading technology will be supported. This is why the appearance of 12-thread and 8-core processors in the Core i7 series does not seem too surprising.<\/p>\n

Another interesting part of this leak is that in the lower price segment, updated Comet Lake-S processors, also known as Comet Lake-S Refresh, will be offered instead of Rocket Lake-S. Apparently, Intel will simply raise the clock frequencies of the existing chips and include them in the new generation. Furthermore, this indirectly indicates that Rocket Lake-S will indeed differ significantly from the current Intel processors architecturally, which is promising after five years of the Skylake microarchitecture.<\/p>\n
