Intel has just confirmed the final pricing and specifications of its upcoming 10th Gen Core-S series.

Update: We have added a presentation leaked by HD-Tecnologia.

Intel Core i9-10900K: 10 cores, 488 USD and a new box

Intel will formally announce the Comet Lake-S series on April 30. The new CPUs will rely on the 14nm fabrication process.

In a presentation that we have Intel explains why high frequency is still an important factor when choosing the CPU. In a slide titled “Why frequency matters” Intel says:

New 10th Gen Intel Core S-Series Processors with up to 5.3 GHz

Games and most applications continue to depend on high frequency cores

Around 60% of games are optimized for single core

Better performance required to drive high framerates, a foundation element of achieving lower latency – this is where frequency matters

Overclocking

With new Core S-Series processors Intel is introducing a refreshed Intel Extreme Tuning Utility with following features:

Per-core HT Disable/Enable

PEG/DMI OC

Enhanced Voltage/Frequency curve controls

Thinner Die

The new CPUs will feature thinner dies and thicker IHS, which in Intel’s own words should improve thermal performance.

Graphics

All Core K and non-K series (except F-models) feature Intel UHD Graphics 630

Celeron features Intel UHD Graphics 610

Memory

Intel Core: Two Channels DDR4-2933

Pentium/Celeron: Two Channels DDR4-2666

PCIe 3.0 Lanes

All Comet Lake-S CPUs feature 40 platform lanes
