Intel Core i9-10900 ES 10 Core Comet Lake-S Desktop CPU Benchmarks Leak Out

[Andrew]

Starting with the specifications, the Intel Core i9-10900 would reportedly feature 10 cores and 20 threads. It comes with a base clock of 2.8 GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.0 GHz with Turbo Boost, 5.1 GHz with Turbo Boost Max and 5.2 GHz with Thermal Velocity Boost. This chip features 20 MB of cache and has a TDP of 65W (PL1) at base frequency but the PL2 frequency would be a lot higher since this is a 10 core chip we are talking about.

...

Coming to the benchmarks, the chip scored 1670 points in multi-thread and 182 points in the single-thread Cinebench R15 benchmark. In Cinebench R20, the same CPU scored 3714 points within the multi-thread and 441 points in the single-thread tests. Its single-core performance in the CPU-z benchmark was rated at 507.8 points while the multi-thread performance is rated at 5343 points. The chip managed to reach temperatures of up to 68C which is a bit hot for a chip running at these frequencies and one can only imagine what the temperatures would be like with the final clock speeds.

I was looking at another article which suggests it wont be able to take on AMDs offerings even though it is aimed to do so. Certainly seems a little lackluster.

for CBR20, they need at least 1250 points per two hyperthreaded cores (per 2c/4T) stock on a K series chip if they want to keep their crown.

I must be misunderstanding the bench scores in the article as it looks like they are miles away from that ?

don't forget, these are early ES samples and not a K series chip. So you can at least expect this specific chip 200MHz above what it is on this video and the K series chip quite a bit more than that. It might not even be boosting properly for all we know currently.

That is a fair point, guess as always we will need to wait to see what comes to fruition with the retail chips.

any sort of interest for the CPU would have been from people already on Z390 who didn't want the make the move to a new platform

 

can't imagine it selling to anyone with a brain considering it needs a new socket, lol

[ENTERPRISE]

I did not even consider it was another socket change, but lets be honest...that seems to be Intel's thing haha.

Socket 1159 so no hope for a "Z170 Coffee Time"-esque mod either

Oh man, I guess all things come to an end. Intel really need to stop changing up their ecosystems. Surely they know keeping the upgrade path simple is the best way forward lol.
