https://www.techpowerup.com/263808/intel-core-i7-10700k-features-5-30-ghz-turbo-boost Intel's 10th generation Core "Comet Lake-S" desktop processor series inches chose to its probable April 2020 launch. Along the way we get this fascinating leak of the company's Core i7-10700K desktop processor, which could become a go-to chip for gamers if its specifications and pricing hold up. Thai PC enthusiast TUM_APISAK revealed what could be a Futuremark SystemInfo screenshot of the i7-10700K which confirms its clock speeds - 3.80 GHz nominal, with an impressive 5.30 GHz Turbo Boost. Intel is probably tapping into the series' increased maximum TDP of 125 W to clock these chips high across the board. The Core i7-10700K features 8 cores, and HyperThreading enables 16 threads. It also features 16 MB of shared L3 cache. In essence, this chip has the same muscle as the company's current mainstream desktop flagship, the i9-9900K, but demoted to the Core i7 brand extension. This could give it a sub-$400 price, letting it compete with the likes of AMD's Ryzen 7 3800X and possibly even triggering a price-cut on the 3900X. The i7-10700K in APISAK's screenshot is shown running on an ECS Z490H6-A2 motherboard, marking the company's return to premium Intel chipsets. ECS lacks Z390 or Z370 based motherboards in its lineup, and caps out at B360. Looks like Intel is using this chip to combat AMD but it remains to be seen what prices will be.

Darn, its really getting hard to keep up with how fast things are changing right now with cpu's. Amazing what a war between intel and amd will accomplish these days.

AMD basically forced Intel to innovate. Intel still has a couple of tricks available at 14nm but they really need to switch to a smaller die.

This is ground breaking technology that Intel has achieved to progress to a TDP of 0W and 0nm so quickly. Truly a marvel to behold to live to an age of such accomplishments, welcome to the future everyone!

So.. basically they took an i9-9900k, upped the TDP from 95W to 125W to allow for higher 'legit' clocks, and clocked the crap out of it... ok.

Well, they did change the socket, presumably to support the additional power and higher clocks, then enabled the hyperthreading on most of the line. Not surprising that they can wring out even more from the 14nm process after working with it for a decade. If you liked the characteristics of the Intel's processors before, these should keep them with a nice performance upgrade. Maybe a 5% improvement over a 9900K with a $399 MSRP?

looks interesting ... especially if the price is sub $400 ... lets hope its not just a rumor Chip wars are paying some dividends to Consumers with Faster & cheaper products

I love how everyone posts like they KNOW this new chip is going melt down like the huge computer in Superman III. My 9900K indefinitely sustains 4.7 GHz all core turbo at about 140w to 170w in a normal heavy load. For example just last week I ran Handbrake for about a half hour at around 150w, 100% usage and it got up to 75C with an evga CLC120 and push pull fans. With Prime95 AVX it does about 210w and starts getting pretty hot. This is on a MSI board with stock clock behavior (no enhanced turbo etc) and boost behavior, auto MB power levels. Here's a good discussion of power levels, I see the same results on my machine with the same MB: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13400/intel-9th-gen-core-i9-9900k-i7-9700k-i5-9600k-review/21 PL2 on the 9900K is typically 210w (around 200-220w depending on MB). There is NO WAY this 10700K will have a 300w PL2 with a 4.7 GHz all core turbo. Maybe 230w-250w or so if they bump up the all core turbo to 4.8 or 4.9 GHz. 3DMark reports the peak single core clock at the start of the test. Here's a discussion of how a 9900KS runs at 5.0 GHz all core with PL2=255w: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14979/the-intel-core-i9-9900ks-review/3 Keep in mind the MSI Gaming Edge AC is a $180 Z390 MB and MSI thinks it's no problemo to run a 255W PL2. There have been reports on here of the EVGA Dark board giving them 300w.

I was wrong, was thinking the 10 core chip. That 5.3 is for a single core anyway, still think Intel are in a bad place.

OS still lean on single core way too much .... poorly utilize the other cores anyways

The 300W figure being kicked around is a PL2 figure, not out of line from the 9900KS's typical 255W PL2 and accommodated by the new socket. Under typical full load the new 10 core chip might hit around 200W at 5.0 GHz on all cores which is pretty serious but can comfortably be handled by 280 or 360 AIO, maybe even 240 with a good setup. Just ran Prime95 AVX, my 9900K with CLC120 dual A12 fans, max fans and pump, 208-210w, takes about 3 minutes to hit 90C. In non-AVX Prime95 at 146-148w it gets up a pretty stable 72C after about 10 minutes. 20C ambient.

T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G
