The benchmarks that have been done on Rocket Lake samples show that it has an IPC slightly lower than Zen 3, but because the top Rocket Lake SKU is expected to reach a higher clock frequency, of 5.2 ... 5.3 GHz, it is pretty certain that after its launch, at end March, it will have the fastest single-thread performance of any non-overclocked CPU, with ST GB5 between 1800 and 1850.

However the tests published until now have confirmed that even with its huge power consumption Rocket Lake will be far from the multi-threaded performance of Zen 3.
