10 Gen Intel 10-core desktop CPU, 20 threads, 5.3 GHz and hyper-threading, but still on 14nm ++ process
Intel has just announced its new generation of 10-generation desktop CPUs with some notable improvements. This CPU series is a branch of Comet Lake S, which means they are all built on the same familiar 14nm ++ process, but will use LGA1200 new generation socket. Overall with this new CPU series, Intel will still mainly focus on performance instead of energy saving.
These 10th Gen Intel Core desktop CPU models will still support DDR4 and PCIe 3.0 RAM and UHD 630 integrated GPU. The difference from the previous generations will mainly come from the boost clock algorithm.
At the top of the table will be 2 Core i9-10900K and Core i9-10900KF chips. In it, the letter 'K' indicates that the CPU has been unlocked and 'F' indicates there is no integrated graphics card (iGPU). These are the first two GPU models to have Intel's 10-core, 20-thread and Thermal Velocity Boost, which allows clock speeds up to 5.3GHz. According to Intel's advertisement, these are the most powerful gaming chips on the market at the moment, with the price range from 422 USD to 488 USD.
8th Gen Intel Core i9Another thing worth noting is that all 10-generation K series CPUs have a TDP of 125W, while the previous generation CPUs have almost a TDP of no more than 95W, and even ordinary CPUs are still 65W. While the new Core i9 series is increased from 8 to 10 cores, Core i7 still owns 8 cores.
However, the notable highlight lies in the "re-export" of hyperthreading (Hyperthreading) on all Intel Core desktop chips, including Core i5, Core i3 and Pentium Gold, promising to bring processing capabilities. Multithreading task management is significantly improved compared to its predecessors.
Speaking of low-end CPUs, both Pentium Gold and Celeron still have dual cores, but have hyperthreading support. In addition, the base clock has been raised to 3.5GHz, 3.4GHz and 3.2GHz, respectively - the numbers are not bad for chips that cost less than $ 100.
Some notable features on Intel's 10th generation desktop CPUs include DDR4-2933 memory support, Intel Ethernet Connection I225 2.5G and built-in Wi-Fi 6 AX201. Intel said that compared to the previous generation, Comet Lake S provides 18% faster 4K video editing, and the FPS level is significantly improved on some tested games: An additional 10% FPS for PUBG, 13% FPS on Monster Hunter and over 33% FPS for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.
The 10th generation Intel Core CPU line is officially available around the end of May, with the K series coming first.
