Intel is due to introduce its new, tenth-generation Core desktop processors, better known by the code name Comet Lake-S, early next year. And now, thanks to the SiSoftware performance test database, some very interesting details about the younger members of the new family, the Core i3 processors, have come to light.
The aforementioned database found an entry about testing the Core i3-10100 processor, according to which this chip has four cores and supports Hyper-Threading technology, which means the presence of eight computing threads. It turns out that the 3 Core i2020 will match the 7 Core i2017. At the same time, the cost of these processors differs by about three times (about $120 and $350, respectively). This is what life-giving competition does.
The base clock speed of the Core i3-10100, according to the test, was 3,6 GHz, but the frequency in Turbo mode is not specified. It is also worth noting that the final version of the chip, which will go on sale, may have a different frequency, although 3,6 GHz is not bad for an entry-level processor. The new Core i3 has 6 MB of L7 cache, which is slightly less than the same quad-core Core iXNUMX.
In the end, we recall that the Comet Lake-S family will be headed by Core i9 processors with 10 cores and 20 threads. Core i7 processors will have eight cores and sixteen threads. The Core i5 chips will still have six cores, but will get Hyper-Threading support. It turns out that the Comet Lake-S family will be the third consecutive family of Core processors in which Intel increases the number of cores, as well as the first family in which processors of all Core series will support Hyper-Threading.
