Specifications Intel KF and F line for the tenth generation - Intel Core i9-10900KF
Website informaticacero has been a source of several intel leaks, this round they have obtained and spread a slide on the Comet Lake-S KF series, KF simply means overclockable yes, but the processor does not have a built-in GPU, I need to rephrase that, it does not have an activated IGP. So a dedicated graphics card is mandatory.
The KL is for unlocked, so all K model do that and KF means unlocked and no IGP. Intel will release 3 processors for each suffix family, in the KF series, we will have the i9-10900KF, i7-10700KF and i5-10600KF. On the side of the F family, we have the i9-10900F, i7-10700F, and i5-10400F. All will be based on the LGA1200 socket and thus series 400 chipset based Intel motherboards. The KF line will be handled in a TDP of 125W and the F line will run in 65W.
Core i9-10900KF has a Turbo Boost frequency of 5.1GHz and also is listing a 5.3GHz thanks to what is called Intel Thermal Velocity Boost technology. Intel is expected to announce its 10th generation Core "Comet Lake-S" processors in April.
Earlier on the regular lunup also leaked and showed Intel Comet Lake-S Gen 10 to arrive in 2020 again using the refined 14nm fabrication node. This range includes the flagship Intel Core i9-10900K. This processor has a Turbo Boost frequency of 5.2GHz and also is listing a 5.3GHz thanks to what is called Intel Thermal Velocity Boost technology. The processor is tagged once again at a TDP of 125W, 10 cores, and 20 threads and a 20MB cache.
Further down on the listing you will find the i7-10700K. This processor would replace the i9-9900K and consists of 8 cores / 16 threads with a base frequency of 3.8GHz and a Turbo Boost of 5.1GHz. It also has a TDP of 125W and supports DDR4 memory at 2933MHz natively.
And finishing the K processors, we see the i5-10600K, which comes with 6 cores and 12 threads with a base frequency of 4.1GHz and a boost of 4.5GHz for all cores. These CPUs will rely on the LGA1200 Socket (Not Confirmed) and will use the new Intel 400 Series chipset. As new, this chipset supports more Cores (10), supports Intel Wi-Fi 6 and Intel Rapid Storage. No exact date of release of these CPUs is known but rumored is April.

Ryzen is pretty bad with idles while overclocking, as soon as u go into manual OC it auto disable most if not all idle states for me.
AMD really needs to work on idle states especially if they're to make more progress in the mobile area.

You need to P Staite overclock it, if the 3000 series supports that.
Basically it replaces stock 3.2Ghz clock with 3.6Ghz clock (or something else of your choice) on my Ryzen 1700, everything under 3.6 is acting like stock.
Idling with 1.6Ghz, 1-2W per core, 500Rpm noctua aircooler and 38-40 degrees.

What is this ??


the TDP wich is pointless once OC, Ryzen goes well over their original TDP (i know because i have 2 of them), Intel in most of the case doesn't goes so high... but doesn't transfer the heat to cooler as good as they should (and i know it because i have got many of them too).
In the end 1 vs 1: draw

Correct. I compared 9900x to 3700x. I apologize for not providing an original link
https://www.extremetech.com/computing/294473-amds-ryzen-7-3700x-and-ryzen-7-3900x-reviewed-red-storm-ryzen
In this article, it also states:
"Update: 7/08/2019: While the results below contain some test data for the 3900X, we’ve followed up this testing with additional chipset evaluations. The X570 chipset uses far more power than the X470 and the Ryzen 7 3700X is a far more power-efficient CPU if paired with an older chipset. More details can be found here."

Still higher idle power consumption, but it is now only 7 watts higher.

My bad I read the CPU at the top of the list in the pic and confused it.
