Intel's Core i9-10900K, the company's incoming flagship chip for Comet Lake desktop processors, has been spotted in 3DMark, revealing that it will hit 5.1 GHz. The processor appears in the 3DMark database and was discovered by @ _rogame on Twitter, with a base clock of 3.7 GHz.
And finally: Di9-10900K 10C/20T 3.7 GHz base boost 5.1 GHz pic.twitter.com/Bcb3Ez2fWR Jan 31, 2020 So, assuming this leak is correct, we now have an overview of how the 10900K will perform, but without any detail about power consumption, as you can see in the tweet above, this is not Not listed (some details are missing). The Core i9-10900K is a 10-core (20-thread) processor, and the 5.1GHz bump result is in line with previous rumours, adding a bit more weight to the prospect of it being profitable. Remember that 5.1 GHz is supposed to be the single core boost, and you won't be able to achieve that speed on all 10 cores. However, previous speculation has shown that Intel hits a bit higher in terms of Turbo with Thermal Velocity Boost technology, which could hit 5.3 GHz (on one core, if the processor runs cool enough).
Do not be dazzled
While large numbers can be stunning, these beefy boosters will be situational and there is a limit to how long they last. A lot will depend on the cooling solution used with the processor (and related issues like case airflow), of course, and the power consumption of next-generation Intel chips is certainly something that raised concerns seeing recent conversations on line. And rightly so, really, since one of the other big rumors about the Comet Lake office chips is that its delay didn't show up at CES in January, despite firm expectations. that Intel would reveal something, you could be in trouble. with power consumption, especially with the flagship 10900K. It wouldn't exactly come as a surprise either, given the power requirements of the existing Core i9-9900K, and the fact that Intel is sure to struggle right now to squeeze more performance juice from continued refining. 14nm. Still, perhaps this 10900K observation means the Comet Lake line of desktops won't lag as far behind as rumor mill recently indicated, which is certainly important for Intel. that Ryzen 4000 is on the horizon, promising a major performance improvement, perhaps as much as 20%.
