I haven’t seen any updates an when Comet Lake - S is due out, anyone have that info?
If this is real CML-S will release earliest Feb 17th and latest May 10th.
RTS = Release to Sales btw.

I thought it would be earlier too. Intel's manufacturing and CPU divisions seem to have two left feet lately. I suppose it’s allot harder to turn a cargo vessel than a sail boat.It gives a good idea when Rocket Lake-S will be released a year later. A little surprised it's not earlier.

Last I recall, from a while ago, CML was listed as 2019-2020. I suppose I thought that was for the full stack and that sooner was better than latter. Obviously, U/Y came first.Intel might be doing it intentionally for various reasons, like if they thought Rocket Lake-S wasn't likely to be ready until sometime like May 2021. By earlier I was thinking like January.

Starting to look more likely that the entire lineup will see HT.6C/12T Core i5 Comet Lake S?

Do we have any reliable source about Rocket Lake core? Will it be good old Skylake or back-ported Sunny/Willow Cove?
my bet its willow cove or skylakeNo good rumor on what Core it is, although there's been questionable speculation that it's Sunny. I tend to believe it's Skylake TBH but it could be any of the three.
my bet its willow cove or skylake
if they can backport sunny cove, the can do willow cove too- any of them will be expensive but if it must be done.....
If it's indeed some of the "Coves" it will be rather big die, unless they do the chiplet thing. In that case it might just pay off to do a back port of the core as yields will be much better.
I think HardwareLuxx suggested RocketLake was still Skylake 14nm. Other leaks seem to hint that the iGPU will be on it's own chipset - saving some die space. That would make sense if Intel was trying to push the core count up to 12, which would be the practical limit for Skylake's ring bus.It'd likely be only one CPU chiplet max, and at 10 cores just the CPU chiplet would be at least 150, maybe 200.
Starting to look more likely that the entire lineup will see HT.
i3:4/8
i5: 6/12
i7: 8/16 (though it could be 10/10)
i9: 10/20

Hmm, more discounts coming for CLX down the road?It's been pretty consistent on Rocket being 10 cores.

well Intel is manufacturing already 28C cascade lake x monolithic monstrosities...Problem is we don't know transistor counts on Willow Cove at all. Sunny should already result in a larger core than CoffeeLake if implemented in 14nm. How much more die area will Intel have to sacrifice to move to their latest design on an old node? Will that hold them to 6c dice? Or will they do some kind of weird EMIB monstrosity with two sizeable dice and then a 10nm iGPU on a separate die?

We also have news that rocket lake is based on the sunny cove architecture, when a source of mine confirmed this to me via email.
