The next screen in the processor competition between AMD and Intel is starting soon. Intel’s next generation Comet Lake-S series processors are expected to be introduced later this month. Benchmark results of some processors appeared before this promotion. According to reports, benchmark results of Intel Core i7-10700, Core i5-10600K, Core i5-10500, Core i5-10400 desktop processors have leaked. While these processors are expected to compete with AMD’s new Ryzen 3000 series, there are three 65W and one 125W unrestricted SKUs on the processors. Features of new Intel processors Intel Core i7-10600K will have 6 cores and 12 threads. The chip will have 12 MB of cache and TDP will be 125 W. The basic speed of the chip will be 4.1 GHz, but it will have a turbo feature that allows it to reach 4.8 GHz in one core and 4.5 GHz in all cores. The processor, which is stated to be faster than the flagship chips of the 8th generation, will be between $ 220-270. After Intel Core i7-10700, the processors become 8 cores and 16 threads. The main speed of these processors with 16 MB cache was 2.9 GHz. The performance of the processors can reach 4.7 GHz in turbo mode. Core i5-10500 has 6 cores and 12 threads, its main performance is 3.1 GHz and its top speed is 4.5 GHz with turbo. In Core i5-10400, another model that uses 6 cores – 12 threads combination, the processor’s basic speed is 2.9 GHz, but its performance reaches 4.3 GHz in turbo mode. Different cooling systems Although these processors are examples of engineering, the products we will see in the market will have more or less the same characteristics. The heat dissipation system used in Core i7-10700 and Core i5-10400 is similar to the 9th generation, and the heat dissipation system in other models is similar to the 8th generation. In terms of PCB (printed circuit board), Core i5-10-10600K and Core i5-10500 models seem to be built on 8th generation processors. On the other two processors, 9th generation traces are dominant. Of course, these designs may vary in the final product. In addition, it seems that different variants of the QS and ES capacitors behind the processors are preferred. Four different processors in the same system The system chosen as the test platform was the same for all four processors. The system consisting of Dell’s 4 + 1 VRM design OEM B460 motherboard, 16 GB dual channel RAM, RX5700 XT reference model and 1000 W PSU were used. Although the Core i5-10600K has the same number of cores and threads, it lags behind AMD Ryzen 5 3600X and Core i5,10600K. Still, it is significantly ahead of the previous generation in terms of performance. Core i7-10700 is slightly slower than Ryzen 7 2700X in terms of multi-threaded performance, but it remains a bit slower in single-core tests. Although the Core i9-9900K is at the top of the list, it is exciting to see 65W chips approach 95W models. When we turn to IPC performance tests, we see Ryzen 9 3900X at the summit. Although AMD is at the top in this area, the i7 10700 is not doing bad at all. With its performance, it surpasses products from previous generations. Interesting results came out in thermal and power consumption tests When it comes to power consumption, AMD’s processors with 7 nm architecture manage to achieve an obvious advantage with higher efficiency and lower energy consumption. In thermal tests, Core i7-10700 reaches 84 degrees, while Ryzen 7 3700X reaches 90 degrees. The temperature of the Ryzen 5 3600X reaches 92 degrees, while the Core i5-10600K only rises to 66 degrees at full load. Both AMD and Intel have their own pros and cons for next-generation processors. The competition between the two companies will continue to benefit computer enthusiasts and technology enthusiasts.
