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.

When we are talking about dual channel 8 cores vs 8 cores CPUs....basically AMD only has the 3800X, 3700X, 2700K-(50th Anniversary Edition), 2700K vs Intel 10700K, 9900KS, 9900K, 9700K CPUs
The 10700K and 3800X as you would say have similar performance while the 10700K being slightly above AMD best Dual channel 8 cores CPU the 3800X and the 10700K will be cheaper than the 3800X as well.
If you want more performance with less price get the 10700K and if you don't mind paying more and less performance and saving a little bit on your power bill get the 3800X.
10700K looks to be the true value 8 cores here.
Until the AMD 4000 series of course!
It has nothing to do with AMDs Mainstream/High end lineups. Threadripper is for Enthusiast and heavy power users. And it's a great lineup as many people are buying it for massive multi threading starved programs. You don't buy Threadripper for PC Gaming but it can still do that too. Just not for the price tag as a lone gaming PC. Based on reliable sources, for PC Gaming, ZEN3 is said to be "On Average" 17% IPC increase over ZEN2 clock 4 clock. That's an average, as some games will see up to 30-50% and others won't see more than 1%. It's game specific according to what I've read. And it's Floating Point increase is 50%+ over ZEN2.
We need fair competition from both comapanies. Nobody wants to see either go bust or we would have Industry Technology Stagnation. Just look what happened when AMDs Bulldozer did not live up to its hype. We have at least 5 full years of CPU stagnation. Now look at the industry with ZEN, ZEN+ (ZEN+ was suppose to have been original ZEN) and ZEN2, it's very competitive and wins hands down in multi threading. This ZEN push woke up the beast inside Intel so bring on the competition so consumers can Benefit with fair pricing and solid performance gains.
Intel 82% market share
Q3 2019 numbers, AMD’s share stands at 32%
That was what we were talking about, wasn't it?
Because worldwide, Intel holds the desktop market share 82% to AMDs 18%
Heat? Are we talking about Ryzen's now, because in every test they burn like the sun compared to the Intel counterpart
1080p: E-Sports dude, the whole world is chasing frames and latency and your boys just don't deliver
Heat?.....my RIG build is custom Cooled By EK!....my RIG cooling system can handle 420w. (idle 25c)(load 55c)
Noise?.....my RIG build is 30db only!
Playing games 1080p?.... How do you know what resolutions I play games at?....I'm using "1600p" by the way LG UltraGear 38GL950G-B monitor (3840x1600) and Nvidia RTX 2080 NVlink setup to drive it!
Why do you make stupid accusations about me? When you know absolutely nothing about PC Gaming set-ups!
9900KS is a amazing CPU and will keep me going till my next RIG build (Intel 13th generation i9) "Meteor Lake" on Intel 700 series H6 LGA 1700 socket PCIe 5.0 with DDR5 and USB-4 and all the other goodies!
And yes! Intel Meteor Lake is 7nm+
Looking forward for ASUS ROG Maximus XV Formula Motherboard in my future.
I'm skipping 10nm and H5 LGA 1200 socket PCIe 4.0 board Fiasco altogether.
Ryzen now has lower temps, lower power, higher IPC, and Intel actually just needs its high turbo to catch up and keep pace. Another big plus is that Ryzen has higher base clocks across the board, which make it perform noticeably better in heat- and form factor restricted situations. ie Laptops. Intel already lost that crown too.
Oh, did I mention its cheaper and usually has better SMT as well?
Uh oh, you didn't even get on the podium son :laugh:

With your attitude you are clearly on the wrong forum, WCCFTech & Reddit is that way.
Back in the day, Intel kept boosting the clock speeds, because it thought that is what made the processors sell so well. From my memory of course lol

It depends. :)
Don't mind the fact that you can run the same cooler on a 3900x that you would on this CPU and it would output less heat (and therefore be able to run the same speed or less = quiet)...
You're...uhh, pretty bawls deep in Intel aren't you, bud... o_O
Infantile fandom for either company really wouldn't make sense unless you are a very heavy investor in one of them... bud
You mentioned quiet and stability... and both are inherently stable, so that is a net wash... and since both the 3800x and 3900x use less power and output less heat, it could run as quiet or quieter. Depending on your(read: anyone's) uses, you could benefit from the additional cores/threads, or from the clock speeds. Both can be viable. :)
I was simply trying to give 'cheap' perspective (like against its competition).
