Asia based IT House on January 1 reported that a digital blogger @MebiuW showed a picture suspected to be an official Intel document. The data showed that Intel's upcoming i9-10900K performance would be 1.3 times that of the previous generation i9-9900K.

As can be seen from the figure below, under the same configuration, the performance of Intel Comet Lake i9-10900K will be 1.3 times that of i9-9900K. The small print in the figure also indicates that the test was made on November 4th, and may change in the future.

According to previous reports, the i9-10900K is 10 cores and 20 threads, has 20 MB of cache, and the basic frequency is 3.7GHz. With a new Thermal Velocity Boost technology, a single core can be accelerated to 5.3GHz and a full core frequency. Up to 4.9GHz.

For a long time, Intel's i9-9900K (s) has been hailed as the best gaming CPU. Although the 10th generation version has not replaced the 10nm process, this 30% improvement will still give enthusiasts the motivation to update.

Well it has up to 25% more cores

. With higher base and boost clock and 25% more cores it's no wonder that it has up to 30% uplift in performance (ofc in small print ;your mileage may vary

)

Lets hope they price it decently so we can have more battle on the hardware/price

This. In a single threaded environment performance will be most likely the same. Max 5% increase. Slap on top of it temps and CPUs ability to sustain that clock.

But more cores is always nice.

So when they are increasing the number of cores, they show all kind of business-related benchmarks that do make use of those cores.

But when comparing with AMD's superior number of cores, they use single-threaded E-sports gaming benchmarks.

Okay.

Also,
Cinebench is not so useless anymore when it shows some gains on their side ?

Intel did finish with Magna Cum Laude on the Deception and Shoddy Marketing University.

Heh the funny thing is that 3900X going to be still faster
