Intel has just confirmed the final pricing and specifications of its upcoming 10th Gen Core-S series.
Update: We have added a presentation leaked by HD-Tecnologia.
Intel Core i9-10900K: 10 cores, 488 USD and a new box
Intel will formally announce the Comet Lake-S series on April 30. The new CPUs will rely on the 14nm fabrication process.
In a presentation that we have Intel explains why high frequency is still an important factor when choosing the CPU. In a slide titled “Why frequency matters” Intel says:
- New 10th Gen Intel Core S-Series Processors with up to 5.3 GHz
- Games and most applications continue to depend on high frequency cores
- Around 60% of games are optimized for single core
- Better performance required to drive high framerates, a foundation element of achieving lower latency – this is where frequency matters
Overclocking
With new Core S-Series processors Intel is introducing a refreshed Intel Extreme Tuning Utility with following features:
- Per-core HT Disable/Enable
- PEG/DMI OC
- Enhanced Voltage/Frequency curve controls
Thinner Die
The new CPUs will feature thinner dies and thicker IHS, which in Intel’s own words should improve thermal performance.
Graphics
- All Core K and non-K series (except F-models) feature Intel UHD Graphics 630
- Celeron features Intel UHD Graphics 610
Memory
- Intel Core: Two Channels DDR4-2933
- Pentium/Celeron: Two Channels DDR4-2666
PCIe 3.0 Lanes
- All Comet Lake-S CPUs feature 40 platform lanes
New 10th Gen Intel Core Desktop Processors Features
- NEW Up to 5.3 GHz with Intel Thermal Velocity Boost
- NEW Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0
- NEW Intel Hyperthreading Technology across Core i9 to i3 processors
- NEW Up to 10 cores with 20M Intel Smart Cache
- NEW Up to DDR4-2933 support
- NEW Enhanced Core & Memory Overclocking
- NEW Intel 400 Series Chipset
- NEW 2.5G Intel Ethernet Connection I225 (Foxville) support
I225 V2 (B2 stepping) is now in productions and works at 2.5GBE on all compliant 2.5GbE Link Partners.
