Intel's new Comet Lake-S processors support up to 2.5gigabit Ethernet, up to DDR4-2933 memory and feature integrated Wi-Fi 6 by default. You also get Intel's UHD Graphics 630 across the new 10th Gen Core lineup. However, Intel's Core F series losses the integrated graphics but offers high performance at a much more affordable price, which makes it an ideal choice if you already have a graphics card. Turbo Boost 3.0 technology and Thermal Velocity Boost allows for faster clock speeds on the high-end chips. Intel will also allow you to disable Hyperthreading on a per-core basis now, but the feature seems more geared towards overclocking for enthusiasts rather than regular users.
Intel is also physically changing its socket configuration with the new processors, which means Comet Lake chips won't be compatible with Coffee Lake motherboards, which is kind of a disappointment because you will have to look for a new motherboard if you are thinking of upgrading. Intel compared its Core i9-10900K to the Core i9-9900K with the former displaying an up to 10 percent increase in fps in PUBG while stating an up to 63 percent increase in fps over a 3-year old PC. The 10th Gen Core i9-10900K also offers an up to 18 percent faster 4K video editing time over its predecessor.
