The new 12th-gen Intel Core processors have finally arrived and they bring some major improvements over the last-gen processors. We already tested a couple of these chips for our Alder Lake review, and it's safe to say that they're some of the best CPUs on the market right now. From a new hybrid core architecture to surprisingly good overclocking headroom for enthusiasts, Alder Lake has enabled Intel to regain the performance lead against the competition. But just how much of an improvement are we getting with Intel 12th-gen vs 11th-gen?

Intel has finally lifted the curtains on its next generation of desktop processors. The company's new 11th-Gen Rocket Lake-S desktop chip series is a follow-up from last year’s 10th-gen Comet Lake CPUs. It continues to use the 14nm architecture, though, which is probably the biggest disappointment of Intel's new CPU range. The second disappointment is that due to the 14nm process node's limitations, this year, the top-end Core i9 processor will have 8-cores which is a downgrade from the Core i9-10900K that came with 10-cores.
