Is Rocket Lake for Desktop? I thought the first new architecture was Sunny Cove or is that Mobile only? It's getting confusing to keep up
If that's the case why are Intel fragmenting their product lineup? Worse than AMD now(where mobile is behind as are APUs).

Intel's core names and product names are different now. Tiger Lake is using Willow Cove cores and Ice Lake users Sunny Cove cores etc etc.
TBH, it is uncertain what cores Rocket Lake is using, though it is expected to be 14nm due to the low core count. Transistors per core go up with the complexity, and that could be why the core counts are going down with Rocket Lake.
Hard to know. Nothing is confirmed ATM.

Everything about future Intel releases is very vague and knowing Intel it will probably change. This is what I have been able to patch up from everywhere.
Rocket Lake-S is a 14nm backport of 10nm Willow Cove architecture used in Tiger Lake. It will be on LGA 1200. It should support PCI-E Gen 4 but it is not certain. Release probably early 2021.
10nm++ Alder Lake-S will sport up to 16 cores in a big.LITTLE-esque cluster of Golden Cove and Gracemont cores based on information available now. It will be on LGA 1700 which should last for at least 3 CPU generations (as a response on AMDs long therm socket support). Definite PCI-E Gen 4 support. Intel should be introducing DDR5 with this generation. Release in late 2021, early 2022.
Ice Lake-SP will be the next-gen of Intel's Server processors. 10nm+, Sunny Cove architecture, Socket W LGA-4189, PCI-E Gen 4, 3200 MT/s 8-Channel Memory. And the next Ice Lake-X will be derived from those for HEDT platform. Release sometime in 2021.
