Some info on Intels' pending Comet Lake processors has surfaced. The 14nm node fabricated processors are assumed to launch in April. Earlier on it was kind of confirmed that the lower positioned products would get hyper-threading, that is now confirmed.

Benchmark results from two i5s and one Core i3 from the Comet Lake family serirs processors have been spotted. Data seeking aficionado Tum_Apisak posted a screenshot of a Core i3-10300 on his Twitter account. And you'll see four cores and eight threads based proc with boost clock speeds of 3.7 and 4.2 GHz respectively. Interestingly enough that would be 100 MHz lower than with the existing Core i3-9300. It might be an engineering validation sample though.

Redditor and _rogame' shows information from a Core i5-10600, again from a benchmark, here the boost is 4.5 GHz, again 100 MHz less than in the direct predecessor.

Might as well add HT to everything, now that the tech has lost so much of its potential due to all the security vulnerabilities.
