Intel is now preparing to release a new generation of desktop processors, codenamed Comet Lake-S, the flagship of which will be the 10-core Core i9-10900K. And now, in the 3DMark benchmark database, an entry has been found about testing a system with this processor, thanks to which its frequency characteristics have been confirmed.
To begin with, let us recall that Comet Lake-S processors will be built on the same Skylake microarchitecture, and will become its fifth incarnation in mass desktop processors. New items will be manufactured on a 14-nm process technology, and will offer up to 10 cores and 20 threads, as well as up to 20 MB of LXNUMX cache.
According to 3DMark, the Core i9-10900K has a base frequency of 3,7GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 5,1GHz. Actually, it corresponds to the previous rumors. Note that 5,1 GHz is the maximum turbo frequency for a single core, and all 10 cores together will obviously not overclock so much. It was also previously reported that the Core i9-10900K will receive support for Turbo Boost Max 3.0 and Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) technologies, thanks to which the maximum frequencies for a single core will be 5,2 and 5,3 GHz, respectively.
It is also worth recalling that the combination of high frequencies, a large number of cores and not the βfreshestβ 14nm process technology will obviously not have the best effect on the power consumption of the flagship Core i9-10900K. According to one of the previous rumors, the new product will consume more than 300 watts in overclocking. This brings this Intel processor to the level of the 32-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X, but, unfortunately, not in terms of performance.
