Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake thread

Yup, PCI-E 4.0 just really useful for large file transfers and writes. A very small amount of computing does that regularly. IE: work, video editing etc. Much more important is the responsiveness of the SSD. I don't expect PCI-E 3.0 16x to become a problem for GPU's for another couple of generations and wouldn't be surprised if Ampere is only 3.0.

That would be incredibly stupid and doom SLI. A single 2080ti needs x16 as it is, add 50% more performance with the 3080ti and then try to SLi and PCIE3 is well over saturated and bottlenecking.

Intel knows it, they tried really hard to add v4 to its new chipset but failed. At the end of the day every single frame is very important for intel owners, so pcie4 will be required

Yes, it is true that in my testing, going to PCI-E 3.0 x16 from 3.0 8x gave about a 4% performance increase. So that means a single GPU would need to be almost twice as fast as a 2080 Ti to out-run 3.0 x16, which probably won't happen for 2-3 GPU generations, which is like 5 years...

As for SLI, almost everyone has given up on it and really shouldn't be a point of discussion anymore. And this is coming from a person that has had six, 4-way SLI/Crossfire past setups...

If you're buying a 10core CML chip to run to a max frequency of 4.6ghz you should have spent your money else where.

I know right, it's a disappointing chip. Especially cause online store listings are already going live with retail prices at $500usd

Don't think anyone will be getting any thing new from Intel soon, especially 10900KF, the release will be some what like the 8700K with no stock for months. June/July to see a trickle of stock, kind of annoying but a paper launch at least gets the official specification and pricing our to the normal punters.
 
What would the best thing to do when this pandemic is over come Autumn or even Winter, hold out of get a 9900K?

Leaving aside random comments on cooling systems, Gamers Nexus also shows Intel to be faster than AMD in virtually all gaming benchmarks, corroborating the LTT results and their awards late last year put the 9900KS as the fastest gaming CPU (yes it may be EOL now but the 9900K is still faster than AMD).

To be fair gamersnexus has some strange reviews going on lately. For example he does not include cinebench tests anymore. Why is that? And I remember him doing streaming en gaming at the same time. But for some reason he doesn't include that anymore. I think his testing method is more Intel friendly.

What he is is a bit snobby, he recommends AMD's CPU's over Intel, but you get the sense that he would really rather not have to do that, as far as he's concerned AMD got lucky and Intel are unlucky, its like he can't wait for the day when everything goes back to the way its supposed to be.
Notice his reaction to 3'rd gen Threadripper review when it beat the Intel CPU's in half his favoured ancient Adobe benchmarks? he talked about how he was not expecting that but not with fan fair, his body language was bitter disappointment.

His snobbiness was quite apparent in his original Threadripper review, he was literally sniffy and snarling about it, constantly using old tropes "MOAR CORES -AMD" "All you need is CUDA" was a line he used more than he did anything about the CPU. And have you noticed how now he has two SLI Titan Xp's at the top of all his charts, i can't wait for 4'th Gen Threadripper to beat them just to see him get frustrated over it, 3'rd Gen Threadripper is not far off them.

AMD 4000 series or a new console. It will be cheaper tbh to buy a PS5/Xbox X series than a 10900KF on it's own. Let alone been able to buy a GPU with the RTX2080Ti performance on top.
 
I wonder if Comet Lake is the reason for the lack of affordable Gemini Lake systems available. Each generation I've gone up for about £150 for a 11 inch laptop, first an Atom Z8350, now a Pentium N4200 Apollo Lake, was looking at an N5000 laptop but didn't have the cash and thought the Gemini Lake Refresh N5030 was about to go into mainstream laptops... yet current prices are sky high even for budget laptops.

Perhaps they've reallocated 14nm production to Comet?

the F sku is a lower power draw locked chip for eom’s to put into pre built systems. DIY enthusiasts will be getting the KF sku.

It still a 10 core cpu that draws 125w in PL1 and 225w in PL2. To be beat by a 35/45w mobile 8 core in multi threading... safe to say Intel has gone off the deep end here... and don't forget about the $500usd price tag... how much will the cost 10900k be then, $600usd? Maybe even higher - around me stores have started jacking up their prices now due to various market conditions - if I wanted to buy 9900k now it's $550usd, already $100usd over normal price

Thread count mismatch is due to software not being updated. I trust the source to vouch for its legitimacy. Under a custom loop.

forget the cpu, the mobo’s esp high end ones will be very expensive this time around.

247 Amps X 1.31v = 323 Watts.
 
I'd like to see the loop must be impressive, that's a ton of power and heat and it's just handling on at 88c

but what CPU is it? 96mb cache and 24 threads? Looks like a Ryzen 4900x
