A picture of Intel’s upcoming 11th-gen Rocket Lake chip, delidded (metal cover plate removed), shows just how utterly huge the backported chip is.The photo (shown above), shared by “MoeBen” of Overclock.net, is presumably one of the Core i7-11700K chips that was accidentally sold by a European retailer to a hundred or so lucky buyers.One of those who got his hands on one, Hardwareluxx.de’s Andreas Schilling, did some quick math on the delidded chip and estimates its area at about 270 square mm for the 8-core 11th gen chip. For comparison, Schilling said the previous 10-core Comet Lake-S measured about 206 square mm, while the 8-core version was about 180 square mm. And yes—the 8-core Rocket Lake is but 6 percent larger than a 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X, whose three chiplets measure about 286 square mm.To read this article in full, please click here https://www.pcworld.com/article/3611355/how-big-is-intels-11th-gen-rocket-lake-chip-this-photo-shows-all.html#tk.rss_all
