== Release Dates ==
Rocket Lake was officially introduced on March 16, 2021 and went on sale from March 30, 2021.
Limited quantities of the Core i7-11700K were (accidentally?) available through the German reseller Mindfactory on March 6, 2021.

The Xeon W-1300 Line using Rocket Lake is expected to be officially launched in Q3/2021.

== Compatibility==
{{empty section}}
Rocket Lake will feature the same LGA1200 socket as Comet Lake. Rocket Lake is backwards compatible with [[Comet Lake]]. Rocket Lake will have new motherboards and a new 500 series chipset. Rocket Lake will not be compatible with Alder Lake.
