It appears that the first Intel CPU processor based on the Comet Lake architecture has been leaked via Sisoftware. According to Sisoftware’s database, the Intel Core i3-10100 is part of the 10th Generation Comet Lake-S family, and supports Hyper Threading.
This is really huge as Intel had removed Hyper Threading from a lot of its 9th generation CPUs. For instance, the Intel Core i3 9100 only features 4 CPU cores and 4 CPU threads. So, if the new Intel Core i3 support HT, we can safely assume that it will perform similarly to the current Core i7 CPUs.
Going into more details, the Core i3-10100 will have a clock speed of 3.60GHz. It will also include 6MB of L3 cache & 1MB of L2 cache. Our guess is that this is the default as the Core i3 9100 is also clocked at 3.6Ghz. Therefore, the Core i3 10100 may have a Turbo Boost speed of 4.2Ghz.
Do note that all of this is based on the Sisoftware leak. As such, things may change since these specs may not be final.
According to earlier rumours, Intel’s 10th generation CPUs will launch in October and will be available for purchase in November. That rumour suggested a paper launch on October 7th (which never happened). Intel is also planning to release the Intel i9 9900KS later this month, so these 10th generation CPUs may be slightly delayed.
Kudos to our reader Metal Messiah for bringing this to our attention!

No thx. I am happy with my 3600.
no you are not, just wait until pakistani or indian authorities get their hands on you.
Oh no
You son of a b||tch, you made me laugh…
you f*king d*ck ?

I have a 3770k, so this meme is accurate. 🙂
I had a 3570k i had to upgrade the 3600 is rly rly good
Nice! I’m holding out to see the 4900x next year.
This meme never gets old! 🙂
I’ve been using a 4770K @ 4.2GHz since 2013…My next build in the next few months hopefullly is gonna be a high-end AMD based PC. Back in the mid-late 2000’s, I only used AMD CPUs (Athlon, Phenom, FX)
I had a 3570k
Went for a 3600… Its like night and day.
You will love the speed and ovee preformance +DDR 4 rams are nice and cheap
that’s a low-end cpu, dude. or are you being ironic?
Even if it went for as low as 200 bucks you would still need a mobo with the new CPU socket which would drain more than 300 bucks in total, plus 4c4t just isn’t enough these days when every time saving AAA live service title with 17 layers of DRM has piss-poor optimization.
Unless this costs 130$ and uses the same socket as 8th and 9th gen.

Still happy with my Ivy Bridge CPU…watching p#rn and play Rick astley song it never lag…
basically i7 6700/7700K is now an i3 10100, competition is nice ain’t it?
Yep. Thx to AMD intel is selling 50% cheaper theyr cpus
Yup!
THANK AMD! Go red!!!
Is amd behind because they have more « entry level » gpus ? No. It’s a marketing strategy.
It’s a Core i3 you idiot it’s for the low-end market

By the ways, it looks like 2017’s Core-i7 is becoming 2020’s Core-i3.
That’s a 2x boost in core/thread count for i3, showcasing exactly how far the industry has come over the past three years.
This would give i5 six cores and twelve threads, i7 eight cores and sixteen threads and i9 ten cores and twenty threads.
Yes, the core architecture will still be Skylake, but with Comet Lake Intel plans to push AMD’s Ryzen lineup in the realms of pure PC performance, IMO.

Rumour has it that Intel's entire core lineup will feature Hyperthreading, with a 10-core i9 processor sitting at the top. This would give i5 six cores and twelve threads, i7 eight cores and sixteen threads and i9 ten cores and twenty threads.

search 3900x vs 9900k 😉 but dont tell johnny, he will cry https://media0.giphy.com/media/Ia0YBgEtfRdtu/giphy.gif
Some more INFO regarding this CPU:
A SiSoft SANDRA online database entry for the i3-10100 surfaced, where it has an overall score of 382.61 MPix/s using multimedia tests, a significal step up from the roughly 290 MPix/s of the i3-9100 (a 31 percent performance increase). This increase in performance can be attributed to HyperThreading, as SANDRA’s multimedia tests leverage it efficiently. Intel is expected to launch the Core i3-10100 around the $120 mark, competing with AMD’s Ryzen 3 3200G.
