New Rocket lake chips leaked, and it's a big downer.

The i9 11900 and i7 11700, both without K, have only a base clock of 1.8Ghz with a TDP of 65W PL1. PL2 is set at 224W, and with that they can reach 4.2Ghz and 4Ghz Allcore - but for how long? For comparison's sake, the 4700G has twice the base clock with 3.6Ghz at 65W, the 4700GE with just 35W still has a base clock of 3.1Ghz.

Also, what's the point of the 11900 if the 11700K is faster in every way (3.4Ghz base; 4.3Ghz Allcore boost)? In fact, what's the point of the i9 on Rocket Lake in general since it's just slightly higher clocked i7.
