Intel 10th Gen Core "Comet Lake" Processor Lineup Allegedly Revealed - Prices and Specs
You can probably tell that Intel is working a bit of a sweat after all that has been released by AMD. Of course, days after the review all of the sudden a roadmap 'accidentally' pops up on the web, showing Intel 10th-gen Comet Lake processors. Including all models, specs and prices.
Comet Lake basically is a rehash of Coffee lake (9th gen) and really, these are all based on Skylake cores. You are going to notice more cores and faster cores in the lineup. Core i3 series will see 4-cores/8-threads; the Core i5 series is 6-cores/12-threads, the Core i7 series 8-cores/16-threads, and the Core i9 series are 10-core/20-thread processors. So it is a coffee lake rehash with a fabrication improvement based on 14 nm+++. The Intel slide was posted at Computerbase.
Hyper-Threading for everyone
One of the biggest surprises is the full use of hyperthreading on all processors offered. Not a single model should provide more than just the same number of cores and threads, as it has always been at Intel for decades and is still today. These processors will feature a new LGA1159 package and you know what that means, you'll need to purchase a new motherboard as socket 1151 will not be compatible. Core i9 series with 10 cores starts at $409 US and runs towards 449 USD. Core i7 SKUs, we have two 8 core and 16 thread parts which retail for $339 US and $389 US. The Core i5 SKUs include four 6 cores and 12 thread parts which start at $179 US and to $269 US. Of all true, it also will be interesting to see if Intel has been able to hard lock and hardened their processors vulnerabilities with this generation.
BTW now some red flags - if you look at the big slide in the thumbnails and think the price looks funny, the pricing last character is a $ as in USD. That's weird as normally the dollars sign is before the actual value. Please peek at the slides with a proper pinch of salt, as it could be fake of course. So that would be my big disclaimer that I am posting here as really - the slide seems a little far-fetched. Have a peek:

Intel 10th Gen Core "Comet Lake" Processor Lineup Revealed Incl. Prices and Specs
Any idea when these are set to be released? i am assuming this year, but any kinda semi eta?
That said, these do look amazing, 3200mhz as standard... 5.2 one core, 4.6 all core with 10 cores in crazy... that said, 105w doesn't seem right even for the base clock haha... i do love competition though, might still be on quad core at this stage haha!

Intel still lack cores/threads compared to amd. It will be interesting if there is any ipc improvement, that 14++++++++++ is milked to hell.
Zen3 with 3-4smt per core will smash it to bits.

While it is good that AMD enables people to PCIe 4.0 option. For intel, it is not an "option" in meaning of the word. It would be:
"Wanna new CPU, get PCIe 4.0 board." And that would mean enforcing price bump similar to X570.
Resulting in situation where any price reduction on CPU side would end up being sunk in MB instead... therefore no improvement of performance per $.

Thank you AMD!
Interesting to note that the i9 10-cores don't have iGPUs, so they are probably a i9-9900X.

So they needed 8 more pins in the new socket. Makes sense.

HT for all what was an i7 three years ago is now and i3.
But a new socket.
Prices are good.
If I’m reading the slide correctly the inter connect to the south bridge is being upped from 4 lanes to 12. That may be the extra 8 pins.

Yeah seems to be there F edition, which takes out the igpu for a lower cost... which personally for me is great, why would i want to pay for a igpu when i got a Dgpu, id rather save 50 quid or whatever it would be

Imagine if amd went under and there was no competition i can bet we would still have 4c/8t 10700k for 400$.

They make a new mobo a requirement, but didn't even bother to give PCIe 4.0. I suspect they also didn't bother to patch the security flaws in hardware. If they had done that, they would have also made it PCIe 4.0 compatible while they were at it, since they would have needed to alter the silicon anyway. I also suspect Intel would have found a way to do it without a chipset fan.

Not necessarily. They could have hardware based solutions to the security flaws and still not update to PCI4.0. Intel may not want to switch to 4.0 yet as they can keep motherboard prices low to combat AMD’s value at CPU. I see it as a calculated move that has some risk.

7th gen Kaby Lake : 14nm++
8th gen Coffee Lake : 14nm+++
9th gen Coffee Lake : 14nm++++

It'd be ironic if this turned out to be a 4chan slide. It looks so fake. Just look at the CPU naming. 10100? 10300? Trying to pronounce it is troublesome.
You'd think for intel's 10th generation of CPUs, they'd come up with a better naming scheme, just to make it something special and worthwhile.
The sheer fact that the $ sign for the pricing is at the end of the amount also makes me question the legitimacy of this chart.
14nm+++ sounds like a dank meme.
If intel is going to bump up memory speed for Core i3 CPUs, it's going to be around 2666 MHz, or 3000 MHz. 2933 MHz? Nope. Doesn't sound right.
The fact that this leak came out just on the eve of AMD's superb Zen 2 or Ryzen 3000 series launch also raises some eyebrows.
People should remember that a 4Chan trolling previously took place with AMD's second gen Ryzen launch, some tech media/press actually fell for it, like KitGuru.

Competition is a great thing, and it's nice to see Intel stepping it up. Prices don't seem horrible either, so a pleasant surprise. However, I'm disappointed that it won't have PCIe 4.0.
