For 2022 is planned Golden Cove at 7nm. It seems to me like products collision. It's more like a wish of AMD fan than a reasonable possibility. Much more probable is Alder Lake in 2021. Golden Cove uarch was originally planned for 2021 at 7nm so it must be ready to deploy at 10nm too.Alder Lake is pretty likely not coming out until H1 22.
Rocket Lake and Alder Lake share one common thing: they are using older process node than planned. IMHO these could be first visible Jim Keller's moves since he's in Intel for two years already. Preparing CPU at different node can take about two years. Also big+little concept of Alder Lake is close to his ARM background from Apple. Intel caught AMD unprepared once (Core2Duo vs. K8). It can happen again, especially with Keller on board
