Leading the pack is the Core i9-10900KF, a 10-core/20-thread chip clocked at 4.60 GHz with 5.20 GHz Turbo Boost, 20 MB of shared L3 cache, native support for DDR4-3200, and a TDP of 105 W. Intel's new 10-core die appears to physically lack an iGPU, since none of the other Core i9 10-core models offer integrated graphics. The 10th generation Core i7 series, as we mentioned, consist of 8-core/16-thread processors. These are physically the same die found on the i9-9900K, but built on the new 14 nm+++ nodelet, and benefit from higher clock speeds. The 10th generation Core i5 family consist of 6-core/12-thread processors, which are physically similar to the Core i7-8700K, but fabbed on 14 nm+++. The new Core i3 family of 4-core/8-thread chips is carved out from the 6-core silicon to give it 9 MB of shared L3 cache.

Was there any hope in expecting that I could use the same Coffee Lake socket, or am I just naive?

The new motherboard / socket, again, though...surely someone at Intel has figured out that the backlash isn't as bad as the extra sales of boards and chipsets. They'd earn a lot of goodwill if they didn't change the socket every single iteration as it seems like they have recently.

Purportedly, the new socket/chipset will support Ice Lake-S when it eventually comes down the pipe.

There hasn't been a "tock" since Skylake...

Ice Lake desperately needs to come this year. This Comet Lake nonsense would be a HUGE hit to Intel. Just stretching out the same old tired architecture and same old tired process node for one more year. Pathetic.
Ice Lake is promising.

"It was Chuckula’s fault...."
He addressed the five year delay in delivering the 10 nm node being caused by "too aggressive innovation," adding that "At a time when it was getting harder and harder, we set a more and more aggressive goal. From that, it just took us longer."

Intel has been stuck at 14 nm since Broadwell debuted in 2014. Comet Lake will be the sixth "generation" of Intel processors to be fabricated at 14 nm. For those of us who can remember back when Intel used to upgrade their fabrication nodes on a predictable schedule, the company's strategy was typically to introduce new mobile processors when a new process node went into production. Desktop processors fabricated on the new process could be expected to be available several months later.

It’s hard to see how these chips are going to find favor among just about any enthusiast or system builder next year. Comet Lake-S looks like the kind of lineup that would have been seen as a tepid, skippable update five years ago when Intel had little real competition in the desktop space. Here in the back half of 2019, what Intel looks to be readying for early next year honestly borders on insulting. Intel’s move to yet another socket feels like a kick in the face (or at least the wallet) to its loyal customers.

"10-100" = Hot Pursuit


Since 14 nm Comet Lake (and its new LGA1159 motherboards) are inbound, Intel has discontinued 14 nm Kaby Lake. LGA1151v1 is EOL.
