Trio of Intel 10th Gen "Ice Lake" NG Processors Show Up on Intel Website
Three new 10th generation Core "Ice Lake-U" notebook processors surfaced on Intel website with a curious new nomenclature, possibly ahead of their "Q2-2020" launch. The three follow the processor model numbering convention of 10x0NGy, where x denotes the key model differentiator, and y the iGPU tier differentiator. Among the three parts are the Core i7-1060NG7, the Core i5-1030NG7, and the Core i3-1000NG4. The i5-1060NG7 and i5-1030NG7 are 10-Watt parts and feature 4-core/8-thread "Sunny Cove" CPUs, while the i3-1000NG4 packs a 2-core/4-thread "Sunny Cove" CPU, and is rated at 9 W TDP.
What sets the Core i5 apart from the Core i7, besides CPU clock speeds, are L3 cache sizes: 8 MB for the Core i7, and 6 MB for the i5. The Core i3 packs 4 MB. With an eye clearly on ultra-portable notebooks, these chips only feature dual-channel LPDDR4 memory interfaces, with memory clock speeds of up to 3733 MT/s. The i7-1060NG7 CPU ticks at 1.20 GHz and up to 3.80 GHz Turbo Boost; while the i5-1030NG7 runs between 1.10 GHz to 3.50 GHz. The i3-1000NG4 is clocked 1.10 GHz with 3.20 GHz Turbo Boost. The Core i7 and Core i5 parts pack an identical Gen11 iGPU: Iris Plus clocked between 300 MHz to 1.10 GHz for the i7 and up to 1.05 GHz for the i5. The Core i3 features 300-900 MHz iGPU clock speeds and fewer execution units.

How did they even end up with NG? No GPU... no because they have one. New GPU? Weird. Ice Lake. So lets use NG with a random number... OK!
Seriously, you could at least use google before writing these texts.
"Q2-2020 launch" - O M G.
Is this not Q2?
Max Turbo Frequency - 3.90 GHz

More than three?

N seems like a replacement for Y, maybe. Still not a good model name, tho.
Intel's been pushing this "hey we have iGPU's as well" as of lately, EXACTLY like AMD started pushing APU's back in the days when they had nothing better to show the world. :D /s

But these are off roadmap, i.e. custom made for the buyer (Apple). So it's a different chip nevertheless.
Something slightly more interesting. Recently announced networking Atoms were added to Intel ARK.
The largest one has 24 cores:

Another reason why desktop segment has to wait for its 10nm chance. :)
;)
Paper reality is still what I see here., no more and no less.
All Atom C-series are also without pricing.
