So yes, a new day and again a new story on Intel's pending Comet Lake. Apparently on April 30 Comet lake for Desktop Intel 10th Gen Core Series would be announced, and then a month later on the 27th of May, you will see reviews and availability. At least that is the chatter on the web right now.
This round it is Wccftech adding salt to that pile, Intel would be launching its mainstream desktop processor series on May 27th, but launching is a different thing from announcing these days. The 27th would entail an embargo lift for sales and reviews, So just like slow-cooked meat, that simmering a release over a timespan of a month.
- Comet Lake-S (desktop CPUs) April 30th, 2020 announcement.
- Comet Lake-S (desktop CPUs) Reviews, etail availability May 27th, 2020.
Currently, there is chatter that partners are already shipping motherboards (e.g: Z490, H470, B460) to reviewers, CPU samples are still on hold. Comet Lake-S desktop processors like the Core i9-10900K, i7-10700K and i5-10600K will be fabbed at 14nm and will entail CPUs up-to 10 cores reportedly with a TDP of 125W.
The flagship proc would be the Core i9-10900K with ten cores and hyperthreading, where a single core would go up to 5.3 GHz with Thermal Velocity Boost. All cores clock looks to be 4.9 GHz would be possible, although this is not confirmed in the slides. A Core i7-10700K with eight cores and sixteen threads would lock in at of 5.1 GHz on a single core. There is also an unlocked Core i5 from the party and the 10600K. The six cores and twelve threads will run a maximum of 4.8 GHz. Intel reportedly announced the processors on April 30. Currently, the processor deck would show to be something like this:
These are the rumored specs:
