The Intel Core i9 10900K is the next high-end desktop CPU that will come out later this year. And according to Intel’s leaked document, this CPU will be up to 30% faster than the Intel Core i9 9900K.
This slide was leaked by Weibo’s member MebiuW. Unfortunately, though, the slide contains only synthetic and not any PC gaming benchmarks.
Going into more details, the Intel Core i9 10900K will be 30% faster in SPEC and 26% faster in Cinebench. Intel’s new desktop CPU also promises to be 10% faster in SYSMark. On the other hand, the performance difference in TouchXPRT and WebXPRT will be minimal.
According to the previous leak, the Intel Core i9 10900K will feature 10 CPU cores and will support 20 threads. It will also have an all-core turbo boost of 4.8Ghz. Therefore, it will be interesting to see whether there will be any significant performance improvements in PC games at 1080p.
Kudos to our reader Metal Messiah for bringing this to our attention!

“leaked”…. Intel, you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means…

Intel – We added a turbo kit to a Model T Ford!
No way is it 30% faster the most it will be is 20% in MT and around 6% in ST, looked it up its STILL based off of skylake after how many years now? Still 14nm after what 6 years?
Intel how much longer are you going to rehash an old architecture and 14nm? How can a company with more engineers then Amd has total employee’s mess up this badly?
ONLY way this will be a good thing is if Intel lowers their whole product stack down.
I9 10 core+ only $500
I7 8C/16T no stupid 8C/8T CPU $350
I5 6C/12T $230
I3 4C/8T $120
Pentium 4C/4T $60-80
Anything else is a failure to compete with Amd and i’m using “compete” nicely.
Lol just saw a new chipset does this 10 core 14nm(from 6 years ago) require a new board too?

Better wait for core i11 for 60% improvement..
Here is a catch…..
INTEL can claim their own figures as usual, no problem with that, but we need actual GAMING benchmarks to check how fast the i9-10900K CPU indeed is….
In “Multi-Threading” Workloads, yes, the 10900K migth beat the 9900K, but single threaded performance might be very different, and this is important…..
That ‘up to‘ 30% claim is for the multi-threading tasks more like. But since this new Comet lake CPU is expected to have the same Single-Core performance as the i9-9900K, giving it just a 2-3% lead, so this can count as a detrimental factor for GAMING, imo.
.
Intel is actually damn clever with marketing, as they have labelled this flagship CPU as having 125 W and a 250W TDP SKU, but the second TDP is just the chip’s PL2 power state value, an all-core boost figure.
INTEL calls this a Thermal Velocity Boost value, but it is moot, IMO.
First off, only the 2 highest-end flagship CML CPUs are going to have this feature, and it is going to require some serious high-end AIO LIQUID or a closed LOOP cooling solution, to achieve the following claimed, 5.3 GHz (single-core) and 4.9 GHz (all-core) values.
.
“Thermal Velocity Boost” !? Bahahaha, Pass. …OOoo and now with 25% less exploits/security issues.
Im done with intels BS, going AMD next time.
there is no way it’s 30% faster in single threaded performance, they did a bunch of tests with programs, and they picked the highest test conclusion out of all of them, standard marketing spin, nothing to see here
When did I say 30% for single threaded perf ??? Read my comment once again. I was talking about multi-thread tasks..

Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, he may have been alluding to the claims referenced in the article and therefore was agreeing with your comment/s.
New profile picture!
It bothers me that you got a new profile pic lol xD
‘Leaked’.
nice
10 cores CPU has 25% more cores than an 8 cores CPU, duh.
only foolish intel fanboys celebrate this statement.
well , my i9 10900x can do that already
Nice click.bait title, John.

Milking the 14nm to the max and daring to require a new socket
F*ck intel
“10900K”
The names of Intel CPUs are getting kinda ugly.
No thanks.. once my 9900K isn’t enough I’ll be going back to AMD for the first time since I had an Athlon 64.
