Filtered new data regarding the Intel Comet Lake-S processors and the release date of those processors. These processors, as we already know, will have up to 10 cores and 20 threads. According to the marketing slide leak, these processors will be launched on April 30. As we already know, they will arrive with a new socket and a new chipset, so the motherboard will need to be updated.
These processors are based on 14nm lithography, which will imply quite high consumption. Intel's Comet Lake-S processors will have to compete with the Ryzen 4000, something that is coming complicated. Not only the performance, but also in terms of price, since the processors are absurdly expensive.

Intel Comet Lake-S for April 30
The leaked slides reference the Core i9-10900K, Core i7-10700K, and Core i5-10500K. These slides confirm that the Core i9-10900K reached a frequency of 5.3GHz through Thermal Velocity Boost. This technology will not be implemented in the Core i7 and Core i5. The great problem with this frequency is that we will need a very powerful heatsink and luck, since it will depend directly on the temperature of the processor.
Based on the leaked data, the Core i9-10900K and Core i9-10900KF, Core i7-10700K and Core i5-10600KF will have a TDP of 125W. The rest of the versions of these processors will have a TDP of 65W. There is a lot of talk that processors with 125W TPD can reach a consumption that would approach 300W.
Processors that under no circumstances will be supported on current motherboards. These processors arrive with the LGA1200 socket and the Z490 chipset, which will also hit the market on April 30.
We take this opportunity to recall that a Biostar motherboard with Z490 chipset was leaked a few days ago. This motherboard seemed to have a large number of VRM phases, which is necessary to support the high power consumption of the Intel Core i9-10900K processors.
