Intel comet lake

New performance results for tenth generation Intel Comet Lake-S (CML-S) processors have started appearing in the Geekbench 4 database. The results reveal the number of chip cores, the L2 and L3 cache, as well as the clock speeds.

Intel Comet Lake-S appears in GekkBench with 10 and 6 core models

Comet Lake-S CPUs will replace Intel's current Coffee Lake Refresh product line. The next Comet Lake-S chips continue to use the 14nm process node. However, they are likely to be based on an improved 14nm +++ process. Comet Lake-S is also expected to bring more nuclei and more cache.

The first Comet Lake-S chip seen here will apparently come with 10 cores and 20 threads. It appears to have 640 KB of L1 cache, 2.5 MB of L2 cache, and 20 MB of L3 cache. Geekbench 4 lists the processor with a 1.51 GHz base clock and a 3.19 GHz boost clock.

The other chip is identified as 6-core, 12-wire, plus 384 KB of L1 cache, 1.5 MB of L2 cache, and 12 MB of L3 cache. Geekbench 4 identified the chip with a base clock of 1.99 GHz and reaches a maximum of 2.89 GHz.

According to the Geekbench 4 report, both Comet Lake-S processors are equipped with Intel's UHD Graphics 630, which is the same iGPU (Integrated Graphics Processing Unit) that debuted with the Coffee Lake family. When it comes to speeds, the iGPU on the 10-core chip reaches 1.2 GHz, while the 6-core one has 1.15 GHz.

We will see if the Comet Lake-S family flagship will really have 10 cores. If so, it would be at a disadvantage against the Ryzen 9 3950X, which has 16 cores. We will keep you informed.
