Intel claims Rocket Lake has faster storage performance than AMD Zen3

Hang on, I thought Rocket Lake was supposed to have the same PCIe 4 spread as X570, in that you have a PCIe slot and 1 NVMe drive served directly from the CPU? So why then is the NVMe drive not in the CPU NVMe slot? Why did they need to use the PCIe slot to "guarantee" CPU lanes?

So this test yields an 11% increase of some ephemeral, contextless number, which also has a 10% margin for error, in a configuration the average consumer wouldn't actually use?

I know this is Intel, but honestly I must be missing something...

I think it's Intel that's missing something and I would guess it's mindshare and money
 
Oh, Intel aren't missing money. Given how much they're making just banging out 14nm server parts because datacentres just can't switch vendors overnight, I'm very surprised they're making such a ding dong with the DIY market segment. That is where the mindshare is fading, but only there.

Was said a bit in jest. However they must be feeling it somewhere to start with this nonsense. I suspect mindshare and anything to get people talking about them again. No doubt some will lap this up.
 
People have been posting benches with the 11700k using Samsung 980 pro, they are getting the same speeds you find on reviews of that drive which were done with Zen3 - the pcie4 nvme does not run any faster on Intel

The same drive using the PCIe lanes from the CPU results the same performance.

Shock! :D

Ryan Shrout really is in charge of all this crap.
