Fingers crossed this was true - all the pro-Intel clowns have been pushing rumours about speeds above 5Ghz - necessary to beat Zen 3 - but at these speeds it'll barely compete and at twice the TDP. At this point, a lot of OEMs are finally going to have to start making some tough choices about pitching inferior Intel products indefinitely.

It's about the same performance as an M1 at 5x the power consumption. Yay Intel!

Never mind single core performance.. the truly embarrassing one is actually the multi-core performance — the 8-core 16-thread is less than 40% faster than the M1... at 8x the power consumption (125W nominal TDP vs. 15W actual TDP). It's probably even worse as the Intel CPU is likely boosting beyond its TDP for GB runs.

Oo, that multi-core score is almost as fast as a Zephyrus G14

Rocket Lake can go up to 8 cores, 16 threads and a top spped of 4.98GHz. At least, this is what is claimed in a new leak featuring on the Geekbench website. The silicon in question apparently exhibited this boost clock in an existing HP system.
