Take that Intel 10th-gen ‘Comet Lake’ CPU leak with a massive grain of salt - phelpsafterew

We wear't usually like to report on rumors here at PCWorld because, well, they're usually (but non always) complete of crap. Just you'll want to take the current "leak" of Intel's 10th-gen Comet Lake Sum processors with an eventide bigger helping of salt than wonted. These slides sporting scream fake.

The Comet Lake slide first came to our attention from Computerbase, which punctually remarked that some things seem off. Still, we've since seen it continual several other times around the weband on other PC sites without skepticism. (No, we won't name names.) Pretend No fault: The advances these slides promise would be amazing if they finish up confessedly. Ten-effect processors! Hyper-threading for everyone! Prices that vie with AMD's outstanding new Ryzen 3000 processors! Everything's coming up Milhouse!

But single small inconsistencies on the slide don't ADD up. Hera is the so-called "leaked" product details, via Twitter user Sohachi, though they apparently originated in Asian tech forums.

And here's what's off some it:

• The dollar sign sign is listed afterward the prices, non earlier—a European idiosyncrasy. Intel has ever placed the dollar sign in its proper set back, before the price.
• It includes a "Lithography" editorial showing the chips being built using a 14nm+++ manufacturing process. Intel hasn't enclosed this in whatever recent product particular reveals, and likely wouldn't start to include it until the company finally achieves 10nm loudness production.
• A "Maximum all-cores Turbo frequence" is listed. While that would comprise nice information to have, Intel hasn't provided it recently, instead sticking to the usual single-core boost clock. (Though Intel recently same its future Core i9-9900KS testament hit 5GHz on all cores.) Core X chips got a separate Turbo Boost 3.0 rating in its administrative unit slides, but that's non the same thing.
• It as wel includes a "Codification key out" editorial, another oddity for Intel.
• The slide lacks a column for Optane Memory Support, a platform advantage that Intel has been pushing hard for several processor generations. It also lacks Intel's usual column for indicating unlocked processors.
• Would Intel really utilise awful five-digit-overnight product SKUs like Core i9-10900KF? I go for not. Hey Intel, if you'atomic number 75 recitation this: Please no.

Don River't take my word for it, though. Here are the official slides Intel provided for the 8th- and 9th-gen screen background processor launches for equivalence:

I almost dinged this likely fake for using the incorrect "SKU's" instead of "SKUs" in the corner at the circus tent of the slide, but Intel also got it ill-timed for the 9th-gen processor details chart.

That's almost it. It's an astonishing time to be a PC enthusiast, with core counts exploding and technology advancing on every front. Simply Don River't redact the handcart in front the horse, and definitely don't believe everything you see on the net. Look at these 10th-gen Comet Lake rumors an artistic representation of wishful thought until you listen it straight from Intel—not fact.
