Intel Core i7-10700K Features 5.30 GHz Turbo Boost
Intel's 10th generation Core "Comet Lake-S" desktop processor series inches chose to its probable April 2020 launch. Along the way we get this fascinating leak of the company's Core i7-10700K desktop processor, which could become a go-to chip for gamers if its specifications and pricing hold up. Thai PC enthusiast TUM_APISAK revealed what could be a Futuremark SystemInfo screenshot of the i7-10700K which confirms its clock speeds - 3.80 GHz nominal, with an impressive 5.30 GHz Turbo Boost. Intel is probably tapping into the series' increased maximum TDP of 125 W to clock these chips high across the board.
The Core i7-10700K features 8 cores, and HyperThreading enables 16 threads. It also features 16 MB of shared L3 cache. In essence, this chip has the same muscle as the company's current mainstream desktop flagship, the i9-9900K, but demoted to the Core i7 brand extension. This could give it a sub-$400 price, letting it compete with the likes of AMD's Ryzen 7 3800X and possibly even triggering a price-cut on the 3900X. The i7-10700K in APISAK's screenshot is shown running on an ECS Z490H6-A2 motherboard, marking the company's return to premium Intel chipsets. ECS lacks Z390 or Z370 based motherboards in its lineup, and caps out at B360.

200w Air or Liquid coolers are standard now days.
I'm running Custom Push-Pull open-loop 420mm Rad with D5 pumps... Cooled by EK setup....that could handle 400w CPU cooling np.
Some guys have PC Chillers and they can handle 800w.... For people that want to run sub-zero temperatures...
As a CPU manufacturer why would you care about heatsink and airflow? Manufacturer says this CPU emits x Watts of heat. The rest of it is up to OEMs and system builders.That short period of time is 1. misleading and 2. not what we see from Intel and AMD today in many cases.How would you spec something like this?
You need an appropriate cooler that can handle the very MAX boost clock or you run into overheating issues. You always design something for the maximum.
If you buy a CPU with TDP rated at 90 but in boost it goes to 200. If you followed that TDP rating for your CPU cooler purchase, you will overheat your processor.
Who can name the silver medalist from the last Olympics ? Its the Gold medal winner that gets their name remembered, it's the Gold medal winner that gets their pic on the wheaties box. I don't care if Option B is thought to have a better design ... I don't have reason to care if it's faster at doing things neither myself nor 98% other PC users do. I can not justify a $500 3900x for a pure gaming box when TPU test results show a $230 9600k outperforming it.
Forget cores, forget die size, no matter who makes the CPU, no matter how many cores, how many threads, how many teraflops, whatever.... arguing abut design philosophy is not reasoning, it's making excuses. Only one thing matters, what lets you work and play faster.
Is cost a factor ... yes ofcourse. Is CPU cost in and of itself a factor ? No. You are not comparing cost of a $250 CPU and a $300 CPU, thats a red herring. Your investment in "the box" iss what's relevant. If you are willing to pay $1.800 for a box that's faster instead of $1,750, then that investment has no ROI if it's not more than 2.8% faster But if you earn a living on that box say as a CAD Operator charging $100 an hour .... then you pay for that investment in about 2 days .... every day after that you are making money.
When ya client asks why your competition completed the project for less money and in less time than you did, explaining that your CPU has a better design and it can do many things faster but it's slower in CAD, it's not going to cut any juice. Use the best tool for each job. In my field... CAD operators doing straight 2D and 3D CAD use Intel Boxes with GTX / RTX Graphics ... when that finished work is rendered, it's done on AMD CPUs with more cores and Quadro graphics. There is no tool in any field that id best for every task.... the best tool if the one that finishes the job in the quickest manner. How new or innivative the design is may be dividends for the manufacturer... but it doesn't mean beans to the user. What i the best tool in ta toolbox ? .. the screwdriver, the hammer or the wrench ... the answer depends on whether your current need is to put in a screw, bang in a nail or tighten a bolt. If you never bang in nails, then no matter how good the hammer's design is , this tool is not the best choice for tout work
And the argument that Intel is still better at gaming is a age old argument that no longer holds water. Unless people consider a couple FPS swings as a reason to justify buying Intel CPUs that are going EOL.

That spells deep desperation for them.
Intel still has the fastest 6 cores CPU ever made!! (i7-8086K)....hasn't been beaten yet but maybe by the i5-10600K....we will see...if you dare to get into that stupid argument.
Same with 8 cores CPU's!.... Both 9900KS and 10700K are faster than AMD best 3800X.....
These are facts!... For now...
Now the only question is the performance between 9900KS and 10700K is more important at the moment. (until AMD 4000 series)
What sells more? 3900X or 3700X
Is the statement I said...
So what again are AMD guys buying?
It's the same with Intel guys.....more people are going to buy the i7-10700K then the top i9-10900K
In fact the i5-10600K will out sell both.
View AMD people as Smart Buyers. Looking for top performance for fair value. That's a lot better than being ripped off by Nvidia and Intel. Wouldn't you say?
90% CPU base buyers are not buying 3950X or 9900KS end of story.
i5 and R5 sell the most!
i9 and R9 sell the least amount.
i5 and R5 are Intel and AMD money makers!!!
So can say whatever but this is really.
In January 2020 Amazon's TOP Selling Processors, the 3950X was 3rd hottest selling CPU and 3900X was 8th hottest selling CPU.
Today Amazon's top selling CPUs, the 3900X is #4, the 3950X is #13.
Newegg - Top selling CPUs Ryzen 3950X #2 & Ryzen Threadripper 3970X #3
www.newegg.com/p/pl?bosid=343&depa=1&di=19-117-559%2C19-117-560%2C19-117-563&fbid=1&pmid=24f8d4b6-db31-424a-ba22-923939a94ef2&sid=1&ste=4&submit=pers&tid=6519&trid=0
So far AMD has held the top spot on Amazon's top selling CPUs for over 1 year now. Which explains why AMD rules the processor desktop market by up to 85% market share.
After all your wasted time broken links Intel still controlling 82% of planet earth x86 CPUs....that leaves AMD @18%....is definitely better than last year.
No point for paying for AMD since the.....3800X gets whooped buy both 9900KS and 10700K and the 10700K cost less than the 3800X does.
10700K is 8 core vs core value to the 3800X
So the smart guy would buy the 10700K because its cheaper and outperforming the 3800X
Better get your money ready for your new 10700K CPU going by your logic.
P.S. your cap lock key may be broken
However, as a home user, these security issues dont mean much at all. Have you read about them and know how they work (respectfully, it doesnt sound like it)?
You dont think amd cpus arent generally temperature limited too? Are 10th gens out and benchmarked? I mean core for core thread for thread, they arent much faster. Then you can actually overclock the Intel cpu...of course to your cooling limit, but 5ghz is typically in the cards with high-end air/2x120+ aio. 4.3 ghz is about all every zen2 cpu reaches...Can you provide a link that shows amd with 85% market share please...We cant? That was their whole 'thing' prior to Zen2 (not zen, or zen+). This is the the first time AMD has had the (multithreaded) performance crown in well over a decade.. amd was 'built'on being cheap... so yes, I'd agree many are looking for cheap. The difference today is they have a great product to compete and in some cases win against the same core count processor versus the trash they put out prior to zen.
Here. Basing that on a major German retailer.

It's one of the largest retailers in Germany. That alone shows a high probability it's happening in other retailers, including Amazon, Newegg etc.,
Point is, they are gaining market share...nobody doubts that. However saying they have "up to 85%" is complete FUD (bullshit). One retailer in one country and their sales over a year is NOT marketshare! Use your head. :)
wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-and-intel-core-cpu-market-share-report/
Here is what Market Share means:AMD is gaining market share due to how well Ryzen has been selling, no doubt, however they are not close to owning overall market share.
Why would you pay more for less performance buying a 3800X... No point.... If you want the best 8 cores CPU that's cheaper than your 3800X then your 10700K is best smart value!
Haven't really followed cpu market lately(Cpus are quite dull). Will that 10th series be pin compatible with upcoming 10nm processors too(LGA1200 or what was it again), or is there even 10nm cpu on the radar for desktop.
Intel TigerLake 10nm++ mobile CPU should be in devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 around Hollween
Desktop will remain on 14nm++ till Intel new factory Fab42 up and running with full 7nm/5nm ready from the start.
10th generation is on new LGA 1200 socket PCIe 4.0 board but PCIe 4.0 won't be working until 11th gen (Rocket Lake) around this Christmas. So you can say 10th Gen is short lived. And no 10th generation is not backwards compatibility with Intel 300 series boards.....the last best CPU for the Intel 300 series is the I9-9900KS
Intel will remain 14nm++ on LGA 1200 socket PCIe 4.0 Motherboard will have Comet Lake, Rocket Lake, Alder Lake CPUs on it!
Intel Meteor Lake is Intel first 7nm CPUs product line from the new Fab42 factory.
Intel 7nm/5nm will be on LGA 1700 socket PCIe 5.0 Motherboard with DDR5 and USB-4, WiFi-6E etc... At the same time AMD Zen 5 with new AM5 socket to stop backwards compatibility.
For now if you want a 8 cores CPU with higher performance than 3800X at a lower 9700K price point then get the 10700K.... Comes with 5.3GHz Turbo lol
The 10700K is an unreleased product at the moment, and it should be faster than the R7 3800X Ryzen (July 7, 2019) as its a much newer processor.
And thanks for letting me know about the 10th Gen with the stepping 13 that they fixed the security vulnerabilities, I didn't know that. :)
