One is the i7-10700K, with the 8-core 16-thread chipset going up to 3.8GHz and 4.7GHz in turbo mode.
Windows Central noted that of the 32 new processors, three in particular stand out.
#INTEL S SERIES PROCESSORS SERIES#
Our colleagues at CRN point out that Intel’s new desktop S-series processors will require a new motherboard that supports the Intel 400 Series chipset.ĬRN also passed along Intel’s assertion that the new processors says the Core i9-10900K beat AMD’s 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X on the majority of 25 games tested internally. The top of that line is the i9-10980HK, with up to 5.3GHz Turbo (3.7 GHz base), and up to 10 cores/20 threads.Īs you might expect, the new Intel CPUs have received a lot of tech press coverage. Last month Intel introduced the 10th Gen Core H-series of mobile processors. The S-series processors are the second release in Intel’s 10th Gen. Unit prices range from $122 to $488, and shipments are set to begin this month. In all, there are 32 processors in the new line, including i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron. Intel says that delivers nearly 3x faster downloads and more reliable connections.
Wi-Fi 6 is integrated in all the new S-series CPUs. This new version automatically boosts performance on lightly threaded applications, and it lets users decide which threads to turn on or off. Intel also introduced Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0. It also features up to 10 cores and 20 threads. The high-end model has a base frequency of 3.7GHz, and gets up to 5.3GHz with Intel Thermal Velocity Boost. The new family of desktop processors, codenamed Comet Lake S and all built on a 14nm architecture, has been designed for gamers and other overclockers. Intel this week announced what it calls the “ world’s fastest gaming processor.” That’s the new Core i9-10900K, the top of the line for the also-new 10th Gen Intel Core S-series desktop processors.
