Intel Comet Lake Thread

[Ajay]

My feeling is that the LPDDR4(X) support isn't there until an updated stepping which won't be available until like March.

Or, whenever Apple intends to release it's new Mac Pro laptops.

MSI Prestige 14 Hands-On Laptop Review: Faster than ever and still great for content creators

Notebookcheck.com gives its hands-on review of the MSI Prestige 14, a powerful 14-inch laptop that includes an Intel Core i7-10710U processor, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU and 16 GB of dual-channel RAM all in a 1.29 kg package. The new Prestige 14 even has a 3,840 x 2,160 panel. Read on...

I hadn't seen this, a partial review of the 6 core 10710U. Note that the PL1 = 35W and PL2 = 51 W.

Details for Result ID Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-10100 CPU @ 3.60GHz (4C 8T 3.6GHz, 4x 256kB L2, 6MB L3)

Core i3 10100 spotted. 4C8T with a 3.6 Ghz base. Can't tell turbo boost clocks, but the 9100 is 4.2, so maybe a tad more than that.

A Core CPU 4c/8t with a 3.6GHz base. Sort of reminds me of earlier-generation i7's.

Rumor: Hyper-Threading Comes to Core i3 With Intel’s 10th Generation Comet Lake

 

[Bouowmx]

Pentium: 4 cores / no HT ? Probably not.

 

[Thunder 57]

So in about three years time i7's have become i3's. Thanks AMD!

 

[Glo.]

Even the base Core i3 will be pretty good CPU.

Great for E-Sports gaming, cheap(109$), fast, power efficient. Good times ahead.

Thankfully for AMD, people do actually buy their CPUs rather than just thank them for the price drops like with their GPUs.

Comet Lake i3-10100 3.6 Ghz 4 cores 8 threads CPU

Intel Core i3-10100 4 Core and 8 Thread Comet Lake Budget Desktop CPU Leaks Out - Multi-Threading Possibly Enabled Across All CPUs To Tackle AMD Ryzen

Intel is readying their new 10th Gen Comet Lake CPU lineup which would possibly enable multi-threading on all parts & not just the flagship.

Wonder how high that i3-10100 will OC, if it has less cache/core than the 9900k, etc. Well obviously it's going to have less L3.

It won't OC, considering non-K SKUs are locked .

That's only since the i7 875k. Do you remember BCLK overclocking? How about voltage overclocking?

Are you using BCLK to OC 9900K?

Or any unlocked CPU?

I had an i7 8700k and an i7 4790k. I tried BCLK OCing them both. The instability set in at low overclocks, and I decided that the gains from BCLK OCing were not worth the hassle. But OCing an i7 860 -- there was no alternative to BCLK OCing.

 

[Bouowmx]

For current generation, max Bclk on locked models is 102.9 MHz. 103 and above will refuse to boot.

Yup.

 

[Glo.]

Is 100 MHz overclock worth the hassle with Locked CPUs?

Oh yeah, forgot that bit. Bleh. Maybe Intel needs to start unlocking their CPUs to regain some market share . . .

Intel seems tapped out on production, supply and demand is their friend, at least this year.

I think Intel would prefer that only the K parts were available on the retail market. But you do still have the whitebox vendors out there.

I'm sure they would! They can't control the market the way they used to, though.

I haven’t seen any updates an when Comet Lake - S is due out, anyone have that info?
