Intel unveils 10th generation Comet Lake desktop processors. Intel announced its 10th Gen H series mobile processors for the next generation of gaming laptops at the start of April. Several processors in Intel's H series offered boost clock speeds upwards on 5.0 GHz. Now, the semiconductor chip manufacturer just dropped its 10th Gen powerhouses for desktops. The 10th Gen Intel Core desktop processors feature its two best cores operating in this mode for improved single and dual-core turbo performance. Intel debuted its Comet Lake-S processors across its Core i9, i7, i5, and i3 lineups. The top-end Intel Core i9-10900K features 10 cores and 20 threads, a boost clock speed of 5.3 GHz and a 125W TDP. Intel claims that its Core i9-10900K is the "world's fastest gaming processor."
Similar to its recently announced H series laptop processors, the new 10th Gen desktop processors also rely on Intel's 14nm Skylake architecture and not the 10m Ice Lake chips. The top-tier Core i9-10900K is priced at $488 (about Rs 36,800). However, the company is also introducing two more unlocked chips, in the form of the 8-core, 16-thread Core i7-10700K (Base Clock - 3.8GHz / Boost Clock 5.1GHz) that will cost $374 (roughly Rs 28,200), while the Core i5-10600K (Base Clock 4.1GHz / Boost Clock 4.8GHz) with six cores and twelve threads is the cheapest of the lot, priced at $262 (about Rs 19,800).
