Marketing slides confirm Core i9-10900K, i7-10700K and i5-10600K
Well, it's not exactly a secret as to what to expect with Comet lake for Desktop, the difference however is that some leaked slides that do seem to originate from intel confirm some processors and core counts.
So here is the thing, over the weekend some slides of top three Comet lake models have appeared in Intel's upcoming line of desktop processors. The images partially confirm previously leaked specifications. The slides posted by VideoCardz confirm that the Core i9 gets ten cores. The i7 and i5 have eight and six cores, respectively. The three processors all have hyperthreading. The top model goes up to 5.3GHz with Thermal Velocity Boost.
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:
CPU | Cores / Threads | Base Clock | Single Core Turbo | Max Turbo 3.0 | All Core Turbo | Thermal Velocity Boost | TDP |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
i9-10900K | 10C / 20T | 3.7 GHz | 5.1 GHz | 5.2 GHz | 4.8 GHz | 5.3 / 4.9 GHz | 125W |

Even the i5 10400 which is dirt cheap has hyper threading, 6+6 cores. Especially if they will release an i5 10400F, we're talking about 170 euros. Not bad at all. My only problem to make the jump is the M/b. I have Z390 with an i7 9700K. I'd like a Z490 with an i7 10700KF. And even a dirt cheap PC with an i5 10400F with onboard graphics for movies/series/YouTube/Browsing etc. And both PCs with DDR4 at 2933Mhz.
Now I work my PC dual channel and while the pair is rated at 3,2Ghz, I run it at 2,67Ghz CL 14-14-34-1T-374 with 1,250V instead of 1,350V ( 3,2Ghz ).

Yeah sorry about that, I jumped to some conclusions. Can definitely relate though, I jumped from a 4.9GHz 2600k and can't say I've seen any improvement in heavily cpu-bottlenecked games (in my case old MMOs basically). Multithreaded stuff went through the roof as expected.
I'd say upgrading starts being worth it for games if you're still on 4 cores without hyperthreading. Basically the i5s from a few gens ago (7600k) are starting to suffer from what I gather.
It's fair to say after the legendrary Sandy Bridge, the single thread improvement is not noticable to the average joe.

Whats with all the turbo names, single core turbo, max turbo 3.0 then Thermal Velocity Boost it's just gibberish for the sake of gibberish if max core is 5.3GHz then thats it's max turbo why bother including 5.1 and 5.2GHz it's just max crap slapped on a box just for the hell of it.
