The Intel Core i5-10600K is a mid-range processor for desktops with six cores based on the Comet Lake architecture (CML-S, 4th generation of Skylake). The processor clocks at between 4.1 and 4.8 GHz and can execute up to twelfe threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. 

The processor is still manufactured in the old 14nm (14nm++) process. Thanks to the free multiplicator, the CPU can also be easily overclocked (but may not have much headroom).

The Comet Lake architecture is similar to Coffee Lake and offers the same features and is produced in the same 14nm process. Other than the improved clock rates, the memory controller now also supports faster DDR4-2933 RAM. More information on Comet Lake and all the models and articles on it can be found here.

Performance

Thanks to the high clock speeds (and possible TDP settings with most mainboards), the Core i5-10600K offers a similar speed than the old Core i7-9700K quad core. Compared to current AMD offerings, the multi-core performance is on par with a Ryzen 5 3600, single core and gaming performance with a faster Ryzen 9 3900.

Graphics

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 iGPU is supposed to offer a similar performance as the UHD630 in the Core i7-9900K. As a  low-end solution it will only run current games smoothly at reduced details - if at all.

Power Consumption

Intel specifies the TDP with 125 Watts (PL1) but under full load up to 250 Watt are consumed (PL2). In default mode these 250 Watt and therefore high clock speeds can be maintained for up to 56 seconds, however, all boards offer the option to alter these settings.

Der Intel Core i7-12700F ist ein top moderner und sehr schneller Acht-Kern-Desktop-Prozessor auf Basis der Alder-Lake-Architektur, die im November 2021 vorgestellt wurde. Der Prozessor bietet einen Basistakt von 3,3 GHz und erreicht bis zu 4,9 GHz im Turbo. Genauso, der Intel Core i7-12700K basiert der Core i7-12700F auf einer hybriden Architektur aus 8P- und 4E-Kernen. Die Neuerungen des Alder Lake-S Prozessors gegen眉ber Rocket-Lake sind zusammen mit dem kleineren 10-nm-Fertigungsprozess deutlich sp眉rbar. Der Intel Core i7-12700 bietet keinen freien Multiplikator, was das 脺bertakten somit nicht erm枚glicht.

Performance

Im Vergleich zum Intel Core i7-11700 konnte die Leistung mit einer besseren IPC gesteigert werden. Au脽erdem machen sich die zus盲tzlichen E-Kerne bei den Multi-Thread-Anwendungen deutlich bemerkbar. Das sorgt insgesamt f眉r einen sp眉rbaren Leistungsschub, der sich auch auf alle Anwendungsbereiche auswirkt. Durch die 4 E-Cores seht den P-Cores deutlich mehr Leistung zur Verf眉gung. Wenn alle Voraussetzungen erf眉llt werden, kann Intel Turbo Boost 3.0 den Takt der P-Cores auf bis zu 4,9 GHz erh枚hen. Auch die E-Cores bieten einen Turbo und takten mit bis zu 3,6 GHz.

Grafikeinheit

Bei dem Intel Core i7-12700 handelt es sich um einen Prozessor mit integrierter Grafikeinheit. Mit der Intel UHD Graphics 770 gibt es jedoch nur eine einfache iGPU welche nur f眉r den Office-Betrieb geeignet ist.

Leistungsaufnahme

Die TDP des Intel Core i7-12700 bel盲uft sich auf 65 Watt, mit der Option im Turbo bis zu 180 Watt zu verbrauchen. Werden alle Restriktionen im BIOS deaktiviert, kann der PL2-Wert dauerhaft erreicht werden. Hierf眉r sollte aber eine hochwertige und leistungsstarke K眉hleinheit verwendet werden.

The Intel Core i9-10900K is a high-end processor for desktops with ten cores based on the Comet Lake architecture (CML-S, 4th generation of Skylake). The processor clocks at between 3.7 and 5.3 GHz (all 10 cores up to 4.8 GHz) and can execute up to twenty threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. The 5.3 GHz can be only achieved below 70掳C core temperature (Thermal Velocity Boost of 100 MHz).

The processor is still manufactured in the old 14nm (14nm++) process. Compared to the predecessor, the Core i9-9900K, the 10900K offers increased clock speeds and two more cores. Thanks to the free multiplicator, the CPU can also be easily overclocked (but may not have much headroom).

The Comet Lake architecture is similar to Coffee Lake and offers the same features and is produced in the same 14nm process. Other than the improved clock rates, the memory controller now also supports faster DDR4-2933 RAM. More information on Comet Lake and all the models and articles on it can be found here.

Performance

Thanks to the high Turbo Boost, the CPU is the fastest gaming CPU available at the time of announcement. Using all cores, the i9 however is slower than the top Ryzen CPUs (like the Ryzen 9 3950X) which offer more cores.
