Rocket Lake

Rocket Lake is a codename for Intel’s desktop x86 chip family which is rumored to be released at the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021. It is based on the new Willow Cove microarchitecture backported to the older 14nm semiconductor device fabrication. There are also some unconfirmed rumours about Rocket lake having a 10nm graphics in a chiplet design.[1] The chips will be marketed as "Intel's 11th generation Core". The Willow Cove cores contain significantly more transistors than current Skylake-derived Comet Lake cores thus the number of cores in the chip is rumored to decrease from 10 to 8. The Willow Cove cores of Rocket Lake are rumored to give about 15-20 % improvement in single-threaded performance per clock cycle compared to Comet Lake.
