A new leak has revealed the specifications of Intel’s 10th-generation Comet Lake F-series desktop processors, according to a report from Tom’s Hardware<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The information comes from a PowerPoint slide acquired by Uruguayan site Inform\u00e1tica Cero<\/a><\/strong> that purportedly shows part of a presentation regarding the new processors.<\/p>\n

The first F-series chips were introduced in Intel’s 9th-generation Coffee Lake processors. These chips use the same silicon as non-F-series processors but do not include integrated graphics.<\/p>\n

Specifications<\/h3>\n

The leak shows that the company will launch two power variants of each of the processors – three KF processors with a thermal design power of 125W and three F versions with 65W.<\/p>\n

Both versions of the Core i9, i7, and i5 processors share the same number of cores and threads, but different clock speeds.<\/p>\n

The i9-10900KF and i9-10900F will come with 10 cores and 20 threads each, with 20MB of Intel Smart Cache. The KF version boasts a base clock speed of 3.7GHz, while the F variant runs at 2.8GHz.<\/p>\n

Intel’s 10th-gen Core i9 processors support Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB), which means the KF processor can reach a clock speed of up to 5.3GHz, with the F edition capable of going up to 5.2GHz.<\/p>\n

The i7-10700KF and i7-10700F boast 8 cores and 16 threads and base clock speeds of 3.8GHz and 2.9GHz, respectively.<\/p>\n

The i5-10600KF and i5-10600F have 6 cores and 12 threads, with 12MB cache. Base clock speeds are 4.1GHz for the KF processor and 2.9GHz for the F version.<\/p>\n

All six processors feature Intel Single Core Turbo Boost capabilities, which is indicated as the boost clock speed in the table below.<\/p>\n

Taking on AMD<\/h3>\n

Intel has fallen behind the curve when it comes to chip architecture development. While these processors are based on a 14nm manufacturing process, Intel’s biggest rival – AMD – has launched several processors that employ its 7nm Zen 2 architecture.<\/p>\n

AMD’s Ryzen 3000 series has performed well in particular, with impressive sale figures<\/strong><\/a> nearly double that of Intel’s offering in certain regions.<\/p>\n

The pressure has lead to Intel bringing down the prices of its 10th-generation Cascade Lake-X CPUs to counter AMD’s Threadripper 3000 series launch.<\/p>\n

Further reports<\/strong><\/a> speculate that the company may do this again in the second half of 2020 to fight AMD’s Zen 3 processors, which are expected to launch near the end of 2020.<\/p>\n

Intel’s Comet Lake processors are expected to launch in April 2020.<\/p>\n
