You can now disable hyperthreading per core, which Intel says can slightly extend time in turbo.
Intel also introduced enhanced voltage and frequency curve controls, as well as graphical enhancements to the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.Intel also makes the comparison to a three-year old PC to show how big of an increase you could expect if you’ve been waiting to upgrade your CPU for a few years. Intel still has a couple of tricks up its sleeve, though.As shown in the chart above, Intel is debuting the third generation of Intel Turbo Boost, though only on Core i7 and Core i9 processors.
Many players will consider it cheating, but Intel relies on deep integration and optimization to achieve higher performance in titles. Re: (Score: 1) by hattig. It isn’t guaranteed, and it can only be achieved in ideal circumstances.
Again, the details on what systems were used in this comparison weren’t given.Outside of the Core i3 chips, each model includes an unlocked “K” variant for overclocking. The result is the possibility for an extra 0.1GHz on these top processors. Intel has finally launched its latest generation of new desktop chips, known as 10th-gen Comet Lake-S. AMD, meanwhile, has already moved to a 7nm node, in 2019, which is equivalent to Intel’s 10nm.But is it all enough to hold back the rising tide of Ryzen dominance?The other big change is core count. Here’s what the lineup looks like:Intel’s 10th-gen line also includes a number of “F” variants that don’t include discrete graphics for a discounted price. That's because these are key technologies at the foundation of Intel, AMD, and Nvidia's chips…
The primary reason is due to the increase in cores — at least that’s what an Intel representative told me. Furthermore, Geekbench 4.1 and later has a liking for the AVX-512, which Ice Lake-SP exploits and AMD evidently lacks.Based on the numbers provided, however, the EPYC 7442 performed up to 28.4% faster than the pair of Xeon Ice Lake-SP processors in the single-core test. They were announced months ago, and in that time, leaks with nearly every spec have been posted online.
It’s been turned on across the board, bringing more threads to the entire stack. It sits right in between the 8-core Ryzen 9 3800X and 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X, despite being more expensive at $488. In the case of the Core i7-10700, hyperthreading and Turbo Boost 3.0 are the only changes over 2019’s offerings.Beyond the the Core i9 chips, you’ll a wide variety of Core i7, Core i5, and Core i3. When Intel says one day that it is ramping down plans for 10nm in favor of fast-tracking 7nm, then 7nm trips over its feet, we get an announcement of probable 10nm desktop chips … That means in some specific applications or games, Intel’s chips will win over AMD. It’s built up that engineering partnership over the years, and though it doesn’t apply across the gamut, there are real performance differences.It’s not something Intel talks much about, but it’s proving to be a barrier to staying competitive with AMD. Turbo Boost 3.0 allows the processor to identify its two highest-performing cores and allows for short bursts of improved turbo performance. It’s still trounced by the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X, but that’s a $700 processor.The price disparity and lack of a high-end competitor is still notable, though. TVB is also only a single-core boost, whereas the Core i9-10900K only hits 4.8GHz on all cores.Intel has finally launched its latest generation of new desktop chips, known as 10th-gen Comet Lake-S. According to Intel, the shared thermal design power (TDP) of these unlocked “K” chips is aimed at simplifying manufacturing process and cooling solution recommendations.The other major change is hyperthreading.
