Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake thread

it is only the 10 core that will probably need a new MB the rest of the refresh could have worked on the older z390 boards be interesting to see if any hacks come out.

One thing people missed, that's 2.0 Ghz chip ES chip. The Zen 3 ES chip hits 3.3 Ghz with Zen 2 ES chip was hitting 3.1 Ghz last year (October 2018).
Also there is no indication if is a desktop chip or a notebook chip, given it's low speed means more likely the latter. If is desktop chip, it would be a very bad one.
 
Lets just hope from now on, multithreaded processors are the norm, dont want to see any more single threaded garbage anymore unless its something below i3 or Ryzen 3

For engineering samples, the frequency is irrelevant. What's tested is the overall stability of the chip.
Of course, AMD can market the ES chips with their frequency in order to simulate some "bullishness" lol

AMD didn't advertised ES chips. Similar leaks from last year on Zen 2 using Sisoft had it as base clock 3.1 not 2.0.

It should be cheaper. A $409 SKU will be well below the $590 3900X and $750 3950X if released.

Yeah for sure, lets see how intel are going to price this. If they aren't stupid, they would have learnt to price their things much better now, but if they charge anything close to the 3900x and 3950x then they're stupid

Where yo got your prices from? 3900X is sold at $500/€500/£485 these days.

OcUK prices are not the best source. :p

Lmao pricing doesnt work like that.

The new iphone starts from $999 in the US, and starts at £999 in the UK for example

Which actually isn't as bad as it sounds because once you add 20% VAT, $999 = £933. It used to be much worse, when £1 was actually near $2.

Intel will price it based on gaming performance, that much is clearly obvious.
As long as it can beat the 3900x in games, then they will price it not far behind the 3900x.

They already know they will lose the multi threaded battle when it comes to mainstream desktop parts, so they'll try to push prosumers into HEDT chips by selling those at half the price compared to the previous year.
