Intel slides confirm high-end Comet Lake-S processors will hit 125W TDP

Not a day goes by without leaks and rumors about Intel's upcoming XNUMXth generation desktop processors. Today, a well-known network source with the pseudonym momomo_us shared Intel slides, which provide information about some of the characteristics of all the processors that will be included in the Comet Lake-S family.

As has been repeatedly reported earlier, all tenth generation Core processors will support Hyper-Threading technology. Core i3 chips will offer 4 cores and 8 threads, Core i5 - 6 cores and 12 threads, Core i7 - 8 cores and 16 threads, and Core i9 - 10 cores and 20 threads. The new family will also include Pentium processors with two cores and four threads, and dual-core Celeron processors - the only ones without Hyper-Threading technology.

As before, the next-generation Core desktop processors will be divided into three groups. These are three K-series enthusiast models with an unlocked multiplier and a TDP level of 125W, 13 mass models without a letter designation, with a locked multiplier and a TDP level of 65W, and finally a dozen models of the T-series with a TDP lowered to 35W, also without the possibility of overclocking.

The slide notes that K-series processors can be configured to run at a lower TDP of 95W, although they will run at lower frequencies. Unfortunately, specific frequencies for future Intel processors are not specified. Here we just recall that according to rumors, the 65 W 10-core Core i9-10900 will have a turbo frequency of up to 5,1 GHz, so the older Core i9-10900K should have a higher frequency even in 95 W mode, not to mention 125 -W mode.

Another slide is devoted to the new Intel 400-series system logic chips. According to this slide, their release is scheduled for the first quarter of the upcoming 2020, and accordingly, new Comet Lake-S processors will appear at the same time. Actually, it's all was expected. In total, Intel is preparing six 400-series chipsets. These are consumer Intel H410, B460, H470 and Z490, as well as the Intel Q470 chipset for enterprise systems and entry-level Intel W480 workstations. Note that the latter will replace the Intel C246 and become the first Intel W-series chipset.
