The last flagship of 14nm, Intel 11-generation Core "Rocket Lake" ushered in the end of life.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, February 9, an internal document obtained by Tom's Hardware shows that Intel began to stop production for its 11-generation Core "Rocket Lake" series on February 6. This represents the 11th generation core "Rocket Lake-S" series has now embarked on the last stage of its life cycle.

Of course, this does not mean that Intel has abandoned 11-generation processors, because the shutdown process will take several months. At least in this case, Intel expects it will take another year to deliver the final order (the deadline is February 23, 2024).

The flagship Core i9-11900K processor, released two years ago, is the company's last desktop-level 14nm processor. The processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, has an acceleration rate of 5.3 GHz, and is the first CPU to bring Thermal Velocity Boost.

CTOnews.com found from the file that along with the 11-generation Core-S to start the EOL process is the Xeon workstation series CPU based on the same architecture. In addition, Intel 400 and 500 series chipsets also appear on this list. This means that from next year, Intel desktop products will be based only on the LGA1700 platform and beyond.
