Intel's 14nm Rocket Lake-S processors, in an era where AMD is at 7nm and smartphone processors are at 5nm, are Intel's newest 11th-gen processors, led by its flagship Intel Core i9-11900K, with Intel not having released an i9 range until AMD's challenge a few years ago. Intel is a great example of why competition matters. For most of the 2010s, it released new generations of Core i-Series processors with what were more or less incremental improvements on a year-by-year basis, even if it is obvious that a 2021 processor is much better than one from 5 or 10 year ago. Intel has been shamed by AMD's processor leadership and dominance over the past few years, so much so that Intel was forced to release a Core i9 series processor to compete, something Intel had never bothered to do in the decade or so before that.
