Intel customers will begin receiving first Comet Lake processors in November

At the opening of Computex 2019, Intel chose to focus on discussing the 10nm Ice Lake processors that will be in laptops and compact desktops by the end of this year. The new processors will offer integrated Gen 11 generation graphics and a Thunderbolt 3 controller, while the number of processing cores will not exceed four. As it turns out, 28nm Comet Lake-U processors will be able to offer more than four cores in the segment of processors with a TDP level of no more than 14W, and therefore they will be adjacent to 10nm Ice Lake-U processors on the shelves from the end of this or the beginning of next year .

Site AnandTech at Computex 2019, I stumbled upon the booth of a certain Intel partner, which offers compact desktop systems based on mobile-class processors. In a conversation with representatives of this company, colleagues found out that in November this PC manufacturer will begin to receive new 14nm Comet Lake-U processors from Intel with a TDP level of no more than 15W from Intel. Apparently, at a price they will be located below the 10-nm new products, which will allow them to peacefully coexist with them. As part of the finished systems, 14-nm Comet Lake-U processors may appear as early as next year.

Mobile Comet Lake processors can have up to six cores, inclusive. They will be able to support both conventional DDR4 memory for SO-DIMM slots, as well as more economical LPDDR4 or LPDDR3, which will be soldered directly to the motherboard.

In the desktop segment, according to previously published unofficial information, 14nm Comet Lake processors will appear no earlier than the first quarter of 2020. They will offer up to ten processing cores at a TDP level of no more than 95 watts. Judging by the revelations of Intel last month, its 10-nm technology is not in a hurry to enter the segment of productive processors, except for server Ice Lake-SP coming out next year. However, the latter will be limited both in terms of the number of cores and frequencies, and therefore 14-nm Cooper Lake processors will be offered in parallel with them.
