Here's a perfectly timed leak of Intel's new 10th-gen CPUs aka 'Comet Lake' featuring 13 different chips, and adding on another plus; making it a 14nm+++ node, from the 14nm++ (Coffee Lake refresh). Nevertheless, check out the lineup:

You'll notice the flagship Core i9-10900KF (these names feel out of control now, Intel) which will arrive as a monster 10C/20T chip with a maximum single-core boost clock of 5.2GHz and all-core boost of 4.6GHz. It'll have 20MB of Intel Smart Cache, a 105W TDP, and come in at $499. The Core i7-10700K is an 8C/16T chip with 5.1GHz single-core boost and 4.8GHz all-core boost, with a 65W TDP and integrated graphics for $398.

Intel's new 10th-gen Comet Lake CPUs will reportedly come on a new LGA 1159 socket with new Z490 motherboards, and support DDR4-3200 natively. Intel will continue on its 10nm node meaning this is yet another refresh, with the 14nm+++ node to surely be the butt of many jokes in the 10th-gen CPU reviews. Especially when everyone will be writing 10 so much considering its the 10th generation Core CPU family, with the 10-series CPUs constantly being referred to, yet the 10nm node is nowhere to be seen. 14nm+++ still... interesting, Intel.

I never thought I would be saying this, but from the looks of it, it sincerely appears that AMD gave Intel incentive to change its entire CPU pricing structure. Looking at this lineup, it really shows that Intel sees AMD as a threat, and now a serious contender in the CPU market place. These specs, and prices, display exactly the type of competitiveness we need to be seeing; 2019 and 2020 is going to be a great year for the desktop CPU market. Next up, seeing Intel jump into the dGPU space!  

 

 

Nice addition to this thread:

According to slides leaked to the web by Hong Kong-based tech publication XFastest, "Comet Lake" isn't Intel's short-term reaction to "Zen 2," but rather all it has left to launch. These processors won't launch before 2020, the slide suggests, meaning that AMD will enjoy a free rein over the processor market until the turn of the year, including the all-important Holday shopping season. 

More importantly, the slide suggests that "Comet Lake" will have a market presence spanning Q1 and Q2 2020, meaning that the 10 nm "Ice Lake" won't arrive on the desktop platform until at least Q3 2020. It's likely that the LGA1200 platform which debuts with "Comet Lake" will extend to "Ice Lake," so consumers aren't forced to buy a new motherboard within a span of six months. The platform diagram put out in another slide junks the idea of an on-package MCM of the processor and PCH dies (which was likely ripped off from the "Ice Lake-Y" MCM platform diagram).

 

The new platform combines a "Comet Lake" processor with an Intel 400-series PCH, which talk to each other over DMI 3.0, which offers comparable bandwidth PCI-Express 3.0 x4. The AMD "Valhalla" platform implements PCI-Express 4.0 x4 between the SoC and X570 chipset. The platform's main PCI-Express x16 slot will remain gen 3.0. With its "Skylake" core IPC within 5% of that of "Zen 2," and gaming performance leadership still held onto by a hair's breadth, Intel will focus on bolstering multi-thread performance by enabling HyperThreading on even its Core i5 and Core i3 desktop processor models, while providing more cores to the Dollar compared to its 9th generation "Coffee Lake Refresh." 

The Core i3 series will be 4-core/8-thread, the Core i5 series 6-core/12-thread, the Core i7 series 8-core/16-thread, and the flagship Core i9 series 10-core/20-thread. Intel will leverage its refined 14 nm node to increase clock-speeds across the board, with its 10-core silicon having a TDP rating of 125 W, and not the 105 W we saw the other day. The Gen 9.5 iGPU on the 4/6/8-core models will be bolstered with more features via software, and be branded under the UHD 700-series.

With its mainstream desktop platform embattled, Intel will try to appease the PC enthusiast crowd by launching a new HEDT (high-end desktop) platform based on "Cascade Lake," codenamed "Glacial Falls," by Q4-2019. The new 14nm "Cascade Lake-X" processor will be compatible with existing X299 chipset motherboards via a BIOS update, offer CPU core-counts of up to 18, TDP of up to 165 W, and increased performance via higher clock-speeds.

Another wild Intel slide appears:

 

 

Intel claims "a return to Moore's Law will come with them" and was "too aggressive pursuing 10nm, but will have 7nm chips in 2021." "The short story is we learned from it, we'll get our 10nm node out this year. Our 7nm node will be out in two years and it will be a 2.0X scaling so back to the historical Moore's Law curve," Swan added.

Confirmation of the 10-core? -

Fake. Sorry mate.

[Princess Luna]

I wouldn't mind that locked i7 10700 going for 299$... but even if this was a thing, it'd take Intel far too long to release and face availability issues for months after while being overpriced either ways.

[bleedblue]

14nm++++x10¹² when?

Story was posted over 10 hours ago, from one source. Has not since been updated declaring it a fake at that source. Story was posted to another source around the 10 hour mark. Again not updated as being a fake. Story was then posted an hour ago from the source I used in the OP.  Again, without an update within the hour declaring it as a fake.

 

You have a reason, or source, that shows this is a fake? Or you just trying to stir the pot?

[.Apex.]

I was shortly excited about an upgrade path, then I read LGA1159.. why.. what's the excuse now?

[Blademaster91]

Weren't there rumors of this before with the 10x00 SKU's? It seems fake,and wccftech posted the same thing so take these "leaks" with a lot of salt.

 

[Brehohn]

If this is even remotely true, it's about damn time Intel. Also, 14nm+++? Seriously?

[sazrocks]

Since when does Intel label their lithography as "14nm+++"? lol

 

Edit: I also love how the price is written as 499$ instead of $499. This is so fake.

 

Edit 2: Twitter source admits he/she got it from 5ch LOL 

 

Edit 3: Here's another thing: AFAICT Intel's marketing slides are all 16:9, whereas this slide is more like 16:9.74, meaning that it is slightly taller, likely because it has had rows spliced in

[Guest]

How many times do we have to tech you this lesson old 14nm?

[TetraSky]

Didn't intel do away with Hyperthreading on Core i7 ? Yet now somehow their entire lineup has HT?

This has to be fake, made by some desperate Intel fanboy to shit on AMD's parade.

[Firewrath9]

sigh, is this 5 years on 14nm? its the 6th gen of 14nm, which makes it 14nm+++++, not 14nm+++. 4c8t 4.5ghz for 130$? sincerly doubt it, tho that'd be great. What I really want is a really good 28W chip (think MBP) i.e. i7-10559U w/ 6c12t & Iris plus 750

[Goldilock]

I just bought i5 3570K.

praying it's actually LGA1151

[Derangel]

Yeah I’m going to call bullshit on this. Did we learn nothing from all the Zen 2 “leaks” that came months and months before release? There has been no hint of Intel releasing new products this year so we’re likely 6+ months out. Final clocks and pricing are not things companies finalized until much closer to release.

Original "leak" is from a chinese forum, with no supporting information.

 

Intel stopped using White on Blue, they are currently using blue on white on internal roadmaps.

 

The dollar sign is on the wrong end of the prices, a VERY common mistake with asian faked documents because that is where the yen and yuan symbol are placed with their currency when written out.

In all fairness, 14nm++ is real, so 14nm+++ isn't that big a stretch.

 

Totally agree on the dollar sign out of place.

 

Totally agree on the source.

 

I kind of agree on slide size, but slide coloring is also a couple of years out of date which is, to me, a bigger red flag.

This kind of release would be embarrassing for Intel to be honest, it can only compete with Ryzen's current lineup if they're overclocked, and an overclocked 9900K consumes about 260W, which is completely insane, so a 10 Core would be around 330W, while the 12 Core Ryzen is chilling at 150W

[alex75871]

That slide is more fake than my ex girlfriend.

Well, if it turns out that it is a total fake, I will gladly edit the OP and Title (and request a lock)  

 

In the meantime, don't get so caught up in the minor irregularities. These leaks are usually meant to reveal accurate information the majority of the time (especially that specific "Chinese Forum," as they've been plenty accurate in the past), but they also do contain many half-truths, simultaneously, (and purposeful errors) that often make the leak seem improbable (or "fake"). Nonetheless, I would not completely write it all off just yet...

Bruh, only Ivy Bridge is available in used market in Indonesia and I can't fork out another budget for DDR4 RAM.

 

Intel after Haswell is really hard to come by and no one is selling 1st gen Ryzen.

[BuckGup]

This is fake but I don't doubt Intel's next lineup will look similar. They really did this to themselves and some competition would be nice.

Where’s Jim Keller’s Intel Secret Sauce Fabric to compete with his infinity fabric? 

[RyomaSJibenG]

we're joking but they're dead serious with the +s at the back
