There is a lot of talk lately about Intel processors. Either because of its vulnerabilities or because of the company's production problems. The 10nm does not seem to finish arriving for reasons that have not been disclosed by the company. While all this happens, an unknown processor has been seen in SiSoftware Sandra of which there is hardly any data.
Theoretically Intel should launch a large number of processors in 2020. If what Intel said is true, we should see processors for laptops and the Xeon family at 10nm. It looks like the next family of desktop processors will be based on 14nm. As the company strives to cope with the high demand for processors.

This Intel processor would have 6 cores and 12 processing threads running at 3.0GHz. Possibly an engineering version and the final frequencies are higher. There is no data from the lithograph either, but it could be in 14nm based on a 10nm adaptation. The company announced last week that it would import its newer lithography to its older, more mature node. This means that, for example, 14nm processors will be manufactured under the 10nm rules.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this processor is in the L2 cache which happens to be 1.25MB per core. Ice Lake @ 10nm processors for laptops have 512KB, a 2.5x increase. The Intel Core i9-10980XE processor has 1MB of L2 cache, increasing by 1.25 times.
Rocket Lake, which will be the next family of processors, aims to make a notable leap despite being in 14nm. Being an adapter based on the Tiger Lake @ 10nm design, even with 14nm, we should see more performance. In addition, these Intel processors will implement new graphics solutions, much more powerful than their predecessors.
