Shouldn't I just wait for one of these new ones now, though? Might as well.

Rumor / Leak: Intel's 10th generation core CPUs - Intel Core i9-10900K is the flagship
- Thread starter Earvin Infinity
- Start date
Think hyperthreading is being way over sold, its been around for what 15 years now and it didn't matter for games. 9700k is bench marked neck/neck with its 9900k brother and I don't see it falling off a cliff in the next couple of years because its lacks hyper threading.
It is great that intel brought it back due to competition.

Intel Core i9-10900K, Core i7-10700K and Core i5-10600K marketing materials leak - VideoCardz.com
Intel Comet Lake coming April 30 Intel’s latest 14nm processor series for the mainstream desktop platform is expected this month. Our sources have confirmed that April 30, as reported by El Chapuzas Informatico, is indeed the official embargo lift date for Comet Lake-S and Z490 related content...

Looking forward to seeing the single thread/core i9-10900k benchmarks against the i9-9900k.
Not much interested in the two additional cores that won't be used much for gaming, but the single thread/core boost could be useful.

steve here looks like a ninja master who was just reproached and the camera is about to snap zoom to his reaction
Even when AMD had its shit together, Intel found other ways to undermine marketplace competition.
History is a wonderful subject.
AMD at least tries to push the market forward in other ways, even if they can't keep up on the nanoscale front. Where would Sony be today without AMD yesterday?
If only it even got down to 10.
Intel is still stuck with 14 mate.
You want to be a witness to a crime?
Nobody wants to see that Murder when Zen 2 is already comfortably dancing with the 10th gen.
Disclaimer: these are unoptimized tests on unoptimized motherboard.....but you wont see a huge difference between these results and finals.
Zen 3 should very easily walk the 10th gen home.
And we are already struggling to keep 8/16 cool....how the eff are we gonna keep 10/20 cool of the i9?
Out of curiosity, do you guys collaborate with GN guys?
Had some cross promotion shoutouts in few videos. Them advising people to yours direction and you to theirs :b
Yep, now I just need them to be more competitive in the GPU market so that Nvidia can be knocked down a peg
I have talked with them on twitter a few times in DM to confirm results or weird software behaviour we both are reporting on - but generally I am just a fan of GN as much as the next person!
"The materials confirm that i9-10900K will boost up to 5.3 GHz"
Yikes. AMD sticks to 105W and delivers great results year after year, while Intel is stuck on 14nm for ages. This 5.3GHz will probably run for minute or two before throttling down, and will require insane power draw.

Intel seems to be doing the same as they did in early 2000s, but now with the laptop market.
Ryzen 4000 series is around the corner, y'all.

Nvidia may actually price their Ampere lineup competitively this year. They're going up against Big Navi, PS5 / Series X and potentially Intel's desktop GPUs as well.
Here's hoping. Priced well enough and I'll probably just upgrade the PC instead of buying a Series X
I'm yet to see actual products or announcements from Intel on that end. They did hire the most qualified person for the job, but it still gets very awkward. Intel has a great lead in clock speed because they used and improved over the same node for generations. Don't expect their clockspeed to carry over to 7nm, they'll compensate with IPC just like AMD does.
Intel throttles horribly on laptops, it's only a matter of time for them to also do that on desktops (it's already more or less the case as reviewers use out of spec boost motherboards and exotic cooling for it).
Intel had no interest in taking larger risks until AMD released, and they had continuously larger requests for 14nm. At the same time, they also had very hard goals on 7nm or 10nm to make it worth their while, but they didn't found clock speed and yields to come close to reasonable margins. 7nm also meant they had to switch to EUV, and only lately did they finally reached a convenient place for it. They made a few 10nm chips, fulfilled their order, then stopped. They also had to change a few fabs from 10 or 7nm to 14nm, to make more 14nm chips to keep up with demand. They had very poor planning on a few fronts, and they keep pushing 7nm further: last announcement, it was ~2021.
Since 5nm was in risk production at TSMC for a long time now, it's fair to expect AMD caught up on the process node, and it's gonna be a fair fight from now on.
In fairness, anyone buying these will be sticking it under a top-end cooler anyway, so probably not an issue.
I hope it's like that, I don't want to pay too much for a 3070.
But Intel GPU efforts won't be competitive at least for some years.
Every + they add at the end of 14nm is another degree extra of heat.
Probably getting a new CPU/mobo in the next year. Intel having hyperthreading on all SKUs is great, but from what I can see, they're still locking overclocking behind the "K" models. At this point, I'll probably be going with a Ryzen 7 4700X, coming from an i5-6600K [email protected] 1.28V.

The Dark Rock 4 cooler should make temps somewhat manageable, just don't OC too crazy on these I suppose.
Yeah but it's been like ~15 years since then. In the 15 years prior to that they had clock speeds increase by a factor of like 20x
Top end cooler is not going to help power draw. It's crazy Intel is still pushing 14nm CPUs in 2020 against AMD's 7nm and refined 7nm later this year.
Is keeping the 9900k cool really that difficult? I have one with an air cooler (albeit a bequiet Dark Rock Pro 4), and it seems fine.
The power draw is literally turning to heat. If you've got the board that can deliver it and a cooler to match, it shouldn't be an issue. No one is buying these to run on a Hxx board with a stock cooler.
Also, I think Intel's 14nm is a lot denser than comparative processes IIRC so not as wide as it appears by looking at 7 v 14nm?
It will comfortably beat console cpu's, the problem is 10th gen doesn't support PCIE 4.0, so i would skip this.
It's ok if you don't overclock, but even my nzxt x72 was only giving ok temps on a modest overclock. (5ghz)
right
so many new things to worry about coming up :/
will amd 4000 series support 4.0?
AMD 3000 series supports 4.0 so 4000 definitely will. Intel is really behind on that front.
whelp, thanks! looks like ill have my first amd cpu like...ever
