Intel Core i9-10900K with 5.1GHz boost spotted online

[HEXUS]

A 3DMark database entry shows that the 10C/20T CPU has base/boost of 3.7/5.1GHz.

intel should give us a modern vacuum tube operated CPU coz there it can do terahertz and the chart will be longer than what was shown with Lisa Su, actually intel will need a stadium to show the entire chart!

[Zhaoman]

They better get these in soon or they'll be DOA when Ryzen 4 hits.

I'm guessing that boost is before the mitigation patches are applied...

[globalwarning]

So... It's like a 9900KS, possibly slower with hardware mitigation, that requires a new motherboard... got it.

Well it does have two extra cores/four extra threads too.

Honestly this chip screams of desperation from Intel to try and get some headlines when AMD are basically showing them what happens when you get complacent.

Funny how no TDP is mentioned so I'll bet it's basically at the thermal maximum they can get out of these chips and that 5.1GHz headline speed will only be seen on the easiest of workloads.

If this pulls less than 180w under load I'll show my cheeks in Debenham's window.

This HAS to be the last hurrah now before moving onto something considerably newer in terms of architecture, right? right?

[mers]

" Bintel ". lol.
Thinks Dr Lisa Su might relax and book a hair appointment.

[PC-LAD]

This is like if you was to evolve an Eevee and just get another eevee with slight stat boosts but requires more food

[gagaga]

Have they started quoting TDP in kW yet?

I mean, everybody is slating Intel - but if you want HEDT for things like PCIe lanes, then Intel are cheaper as Amd only come in at 24C starting on current architecture - and those prices are even more insane.

Intel have terrible PCIe lanes for their desktop chips like this one currently. You need to go to their 2011 socket HEDT (which this chip isn't) to get more PCIe.

Also Xeon-W on 2066 or 3647, or one of the i9 cascade lake chips (on the other 2066 socket).

Intel have many ways of allowing you to spend £400 on a quadcore Skylake in 2020.

the base frequency of the Core i9-10900K processor was 3.7 GHz, and the maximum turbofrequency reached 5.1 GHz. Actually, this is consistent with previous rumors. Note that 5.1 GHz is the maximum turbofrequency for a single core, and all 10 cores together will obviously not accelerate so significantly. It was also previously reported that the Core i9-10900K will receive support for Turbo Boost Max 3.0 and Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) technologies, thanks to which the maximum frequencies for one core will be 5.2 and 5.3 GHz, respectively.It is also worth recalling that the combination of high frequencies, a large number of cores and not the most “fresh” 14-nm process technology will obviously not have the best effect on the energy consumption of the flagship Core i9-10900K. According to one of the previous rumors, the novelty will consume more than 300 watts in acceleration. This brings this Intel processor to the level of the 32-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X, but, unfortunately, by no means in terms of performance.
