You have to wonder if there's anything left to report after Intel actually launches their Comet lake series desktop processors. Today you can add numbers for Core i7-10700K and i5-10600K, which seem to be roughly at tan Ryzen 3600X and 3800X perf levels.

Thai PC aficionado TUM_APISAK is active on his twitter account again, this round he stumbled into some results on Geekbench, results from 10th gen Core processors named Core i7-10700K (8-core/16-thread) and the Core i5-10600K (6-core/12-thread).

The eight-core i7-10700K scores 34133 points in the multi-core test, and 5989 in the single-core one, which is close to Ryzen 7 3800X. The processors are listed at 5.1 GHz for its maxed boost frequency.

The more affordable i5-10600K scores 28523 points in the multi-threaded test, and 6081 points in the single-core test, that's 3600X territory and clocks ion at a max clock of 4.80 GHz.

Both procs could be slightly faster than Ryzen, however, it seems Intel is missing a bit of IPC, as they need rather higher frequencies. And that on its end means more voltage need, and thus the rumors of fairly high power consumption might be a real deal. I included some Ryzen 3600X and 3800X results below as well.
