Virtually the only relevant thing Intel showed us at CES 2020 were the Comet Lake-H processors. The 10th generation of Intel processors for laptops is characterized by a TDP of 45W. We know that in laptops, the two key factors are temperature and power consumption, which directly impact battery life. Unfortunately, we know nothing about Comet Lake-S.
The company is still stuck on 14nm lithography, only offering Ice Lake @ 10nm for some laptops. These 10nm processors are very low power consumption and are integrated into low cost and high autonomy laptops. A little presence that is explained because the 10nm manufacturing process is very difficult and the larger the chip size, the greater the number of faulty processors.

The problem with these processors is that they will have to compete with the AMD Ryzen 4000H. The new AMD processors are characterized by being based on the Zen2 architecture and manufactured in 7nm lithography. What's more, the company boasts of having developed the first eight-core ultrabook on the market (with the Ryzen 4000U)
ComputerBase indicates that Comet Lake-H-based laptops could arrive in February with great availability in spring. It is said that we can see a lot of notebooks based on these high-performance processors. Most or a large number will be based on 8-core processors.
From Intel ensures that the Core i7 will reach 5.0GHz, something possible thanks to Turbo Max 3.0. This technology would be similar to AMD's XFR that it no longer implements because it never finished working well. If the processor has a temperature below the maximum, the best cores could pass 5.0GHz and little more.
