Intel Core i7-10700K and i5-10600K Benchmarks in Geekbench
You have to wonder if there's anything left to report after Intel actually launches their Comet lake series desktop processors. Today you can add numbers for Core i7-10700K and i5-10600K, which seem to be roughly at tan Ryzen 3600X and 3800X perf levels.
Thai PC aficionado TUM_APISAK is active on his twitter account again, this round he stumbled into some results on Geekbench, results from 10th gen Core processors named Core i7-10700K (8-core/16-thread) and the Core i5-10600K (6-core/12-thread).
- The eight-core i7-10700K scores 34133 points in the multi-core test, and 5989 in the single-core one, which is close to Ryzen 7 3800X. The processors are listed at 5.1 GHz for its maxed boost frequency.
- The more affordable i5-10600K scores 28523 points in the multi-threaded test, and 6081 points in the single-core test, that's 3600X territory and clocks ion at a max clock of 4.80 GHz.
Both procs could be slightly faster than Ryzen, however, it seems Intel is missing a bit of IPC, as they need rather higher frequencies. And that on its end means more voltage need, and thus the rumors of fairly high power consumption might be a real deal. I included some Ryzen 3600X and 3800X results below as well.

Honestly I don't even know why they bothered with this series. Why not just make the 9x series cheaper?
It was already competitive in games (even better) than AMD and just drive their resources to a new process on lower nm.
Who needs fecken 20 threads for gaming anyway ...

Intel's price/performance value is horrible at this point in time.

Yeah, not so great considering the prices on the 3900X, 3800X and 3700X lately. I snagged an upgrade from my 3600 to the 3900X a few weeks back because it was on sale for $419 (I do a lot more than gaming on my system, so it made sense for me, and I plan on re-purposing the 3600 into my Plex server), and I have seen similarly deep discounts on the other two top-end Ryzens since. If Xen3 is indeed 15% faster than the Xen2, these chips are pretty much DOA.

Dont discard intel yet, im sure at games will still run better on it. Imagine 10c/20t at 5.3ghz all core 10900k, gaming beast.
It will run hot, it will take twice the power, but those few extra fps at 1080p are priceless.

So in other words, not good news for Intel.
