Intel Core i5-10400 6-core CPU pictured, NDA information leaked - VideoCardz.com

Uniko’s Hardware has first pictures of a non-engineering sample for the upcoming Intel Comet Lake-S processor. Intel Core i5-10400 Intel’s Comet Lake-S is just around the corner. For the first time, Intel will launch a 10-core CPUs for the mainstream segment. The Core i5 series will feature up...

Comet Lake-S launch looks like it will be no earlier than the middle of April. I actually thought it was going to be pretty soon. You can also pretty much end any talk about Rocket Lake-S this year too.

That line up is a complete joke. Six models with six cores, just why?
Will they price them 6$ apart from each other?
 
Looking at maybe a i7 10700, i can't really imagine doing any kind of overclocking on these chips. I doubt the stock 4.6ghz all core boost will be the thing that slows down 16 threads. It's prob gonna be the lack of threads and that's gotta be in 5 years or something? By then oh yeah would be on whatever else is best.

Not sold yet but i am interested that is for sure. Price and bang for buck compared to 3700x. If its gonna dump some massive heat,it better be stomping the 3700x in gaming. I doubt it will but who knows. 🙂

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...

Videocardz has some new Comet Lake-S slides, but no actual new info. Does say that the launch is on the 30th.

LOL that is exactly what it is, just a re-binned part. Absolutely zero innovation required.

Almost thinking this myself,i saw a leaked bench which was using a es and it was coming a hair short of a 9900k in gaming. More inclined to think its a product shift like the 8 core will be priced like the earlier 6 cores and the 10 behemoth and its dedicated nuclear facility to run will replace the 9900k in all but pricing hopefully. Bad enough your best off buying a $70+ cooler on top of the initial $200 board if you want day one adoption but you add in your prob still getting 2 less cores for possibly more then even the price of a 3900x?

I would be shocked if the 10 core chips are even the same price or less then a 3900x. The 10700 series will be priced like the older 8700 series prob.

Intel 10th Gen Core Series (Comet Lake-S) to launch on May 27th - VideoCardz.com

Intel to launch Comet Lake-S on May 27th According to Wccftech, Intel is set to launch its mainstream desktop processor series on May 27th. This is the date the embargo for sales and reviews lifts. The announcement will take place just as we reported earlier, on April 30. This means that the...

Videocardz source on this is WTFTech, but says the actual release of Comet Lake-S isn't until May 27th, even though the launch is on the 30th. The virus might be playing a part in the delays...

LOL i am already sold on a 3900x. I mean i almost considered the entire idea of a Comet Lake cpu RIGHT till that socket confirmation. Like really another damn socket? Well and Intel still topping out at 10 cores and will prob charge 9900k prices for it. Got no issues giving AMD my money, then sit on that 3900x till ddr5 is either main stream or Intel actually cares to compete sometime soon.

Amd is already pushing next gen stuff on their X570 and Intel still peddling 14nm++++ chips........

Intel's been rather consistent on two gens per socket. That shouldn't be a surprise by now. The desktop TAM is going to be so devastated by the virus that Intel may simply give up on it, especially if AMD at some point gets faster in games.

If AMD can support more than two generations per socket, so can Intel. It's not like AM4 is the first time this has been done. It will support 5 generations (if you count Bristol, which one probably shouldn't, but technically it is still 5). Socket A was around forever. Socket AM2 was great in that you could start at one core and go up to four. Of course, not every motherboard/chipset allowed for it. There were some that were great though. On AM2 I went from a 3800+ X2 to a 5000+ X2 Black Edition to a Phenom II X4 940.

It's obviously easier to cut compatibility. What isn't really known is how much OEMs care about socket compatibility, and that's really Intel's customer base.

And that needs to change... For all of us to get better competition and VALUE for our $$$$

Would be nice if Intel got a idea from AMD then it wouldn't matter what freaking socket it came with, could be 666 and all we would need to not care is a actual functional stock cooler.

That's goofy as hell. I can't see demand for Comet Lake being that high, especially with all the delays.

I'm thinking of picking up the 10C and making it my gaming rig instead of my 3950X. I like new stuff. I'm sure it will be faster than what I have and I can let the 3950X do distributed computing without gaming interruption.

I mean you can, but it probably won't be any faster than a 9900k.

Yeah, but it's a new shiny. I buy new stuff all the time to shake it down.

I guess if Intel can get enough people that are willing to replace 9900ks with 10900ks they'll be . . . okay. I just don't see it happening for a lot of people. The time to strike was December 2019, and they whiffed that by a country mile.

May I ask you, what on Earth are you talking about? It's around $350, $80 more expensive than a 3700X right now, which comes with a good cooler and has a MUCH higher base clock.
