Intel 10th Generation Core "Comet Lake" Lineup Detailed - tech
(hx) 06:54 PM CEST - Jul,10 2019 - Post a comment / read (7)
Intel's short-term reaction to AMD's 3rd generation Ryzen processor family is the 10th generation Core "Comet Lake." These processors are based on existing "Skylake" cores, but have core-counts increased at the top-end, and HyperThreading enabled across the entire lineup. The Core i3 series are now 4-core/8-thread; the Core i5 series a 6-core/12-thread, the Core i7 series are 8-core/16-thread, and the new Core i9 series are 10-core/20-thread. Besides core-counts, Intel has given its 14 nanometer node one last step of refinement to come up with the new 14 nm+++ nodelet. This enables Intel to significantly dial up clock speeds across the board. These processors come in the new LGA1159 package, and are not backwards-compatible with LGA1151 motherboards. These chips also appear to feature an on-package PCH, instead of chipset on the motherboard.

Leading the pack is the Core i9-10900KF, a 10-core/20-thread chip clocked at 4.60 GHz with 5.20 GHz Turbo Boost, 20 MB of shared L3 cache, native support for DDR4-3200, and a TDP of 105 W. Intel's new 10-core die appears to physically lack an iGPU, since none of the other Core i9 10-core models offer integrated graphics. For this reason, all three processor models have the "F" brand extension denoting lack of integrated graphics. The i9-10900KF is closely followed by the i9-10900F clocked at 4.40/5.20 GHz, the lack of an unlocked multiplier, and 95 W TDP rating. The most affordable 10-core part is the i9-10800F, clocked at 4.20 GHz with 5.00 GHz boost, and a TDP of just 65 W. Intel has set ambitious prices for these chips. The i9-10900KF is priced at $499, followed by the i9-10900F at $449, and the i9-10800F at $409.

The 10th generation Core i7 series, as we mentioned, consist of 8-core/16-thread processors. These are physically the same die found on the i9-9900K, but built on the new 14 nm+++ nodelet, and benefit from higher clock speeds. The Core i7-10700K clocked at 4.80 GHz with 5.10 GHz boost, offers 16 MB of shared L3 cache, Intel Gen9.5-based UHD 730 graphics, and native support for DDR4-3200. Intel is pricing the i7-10700K at $389. This is closely followed by the $339 Core i7-10700, which lacks an unlocked multiplier, ticks at 4.60 GHz with 4.90 GHz boost, and comes with a 65 W TDP. The 10th generation Core i5 family consist of 6-core/12-thread processors, which are physically similar to the Core i7-8700K, but fabbed on 14 nm+++. The Core i5-10600K offers an unlocked multiplier, clock speeds of 4.70 GHz with 4.90 GHz boost, 12 MB of shared L3 cache, 95 W TDP, UHD 730 graphics, and native support for DDR4-3200 memory. This chip is priced at $269. It is closely followed by the i5-10600 clocked at 4.60 GHz with 4.80 GHz boost, the lack of an unlocked multiplier, and a $229 price-tag. Other Core i5 SKUs include the i5-10500 (4.40-4.50 GHz, $199 price), and i5-10400 (4.20-4.40 GHz, $179 price).

At the bottom of the pile is the new Core i3 family of 4-core/8-thread chips, which is surprisingly not physically simlar to the quad-core "Skylake" die, but is rather carved out from the 6-core silicon to give it 9 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i3-10350K is price-matched with the i5-10400 at $179, offers an unlocked multiplier, and is clocked at 4.60 GHz with 4.80 GHz boost, with a 95 W TDP. It's trailed by the i3-10320 (4.50-4.70 GHz, 9 MB L3 cache, $159 price); and the i3-10300 (4.30-4.50 GHz, 9 MB L3 cache, and $149 price). At the very bottom is the Core i3-10100. This 4-core/8-thread chip is configured with just 7 MB of L3 cache, 4.20-4.40 GHz clock-speeds, 65 W TDP, and a $129 price. The 10th generation Panic Lake lacks PCIe gen 4.0, uses 32 Gbps DMI 3.0 chipset bus, and will be accompanied by the new 495-series chipset that sits on the same package as the CPU die, and talks to it over OPI, which is basically on-package DMI (32 Gbps). The CPU socket now puts out all of the platform connectivity on the motherboard. Among the connectivity options are one PCI-Express 3.0 x16 link meant for graphics, a handful USB 3.1 gen 2 and gen 1 ports, a few M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 slots, SATA 6 Gbps ports, HDA bus, and GbE PHY. There's no information on when the 10th generation "Comet Lake" launches, but something tells us Intel will frantcally launch this platform to cut into 3rd gen Ryzen sales, because its desktop "Ice Lake" processor won't launch before 2020.

Intel was shedding tears while they were releasing this. This was probably planed at 50% higher prices :D

Told this a year ago, they can cry as much as they'd like.
Their smart officers left before they started melting away.
Now comes the meltdown.
Fading profits, no competitive products for years.
They'll be where AMD was soon.

This is also a big "fuck you" to those who already made an investment:

These processors come in the new LGA1159 package, and are not backwards-compatible with LGA1151 motherboards.

Fuck yous like this makes me think twice about investing into Intel CPUs as well.

This is where they should have been about 1.5 years ago:

but they didn't have to be there, they opted to make more money. Their biggest problem is that they don't have anything to show for after this. Not that important NOW, but important in the future. The only thing they CAN do is lower prices even more.

as for the big F to this and those, yea, well, ryzen 3xxx is also a big F to those that just bough Ryzen 2xxx so it;s nothing new really. It's normal in business.

I for one never go big on CPUs anyway, it's either going to be a used one that used to cost 300$ and I get it for ~150 or a new one for under 200. No big difference anyway.

Wrong way to look at it. Noone is being screwed by the new gen of ryzen. Still AM4, still supported on old AM4 boards, what more could you want?

The people who 'just' bought ryzen 2000 aren't the people who ever buy bleeding edge in the first place, otherwise they'd be following release dates and watching for benchmark articles and leaks and know not to buy the old gen so late.

Those people did so to save money, and more power to them, they still have a nice chip at a great price. They just don't have 'THE BEST!' and they weren't ever going to be willing to pay for the best either.

Can't wait for the ryzen 4000 to be even faster!

Well, the same goes for intel Cofee Lake users then. Still good, not the best. But it's not just intel and AMD, nVidia pulls crappy moves too (*cough* super moves)...

And my processor is still fine for EVERYTHING i play.. so I really couldn't care less. I'll never touch AMD CRAP, EVER. Intel has ZERO to worry about.
