Official Intel Core i9-10900K CPU performance figures appear to have been leaked by Tom's Hardware . Intel's Core i9-10900K will be the flagship chip for the tenth-generation Comet Lake family expected to land in the coming months, but it will have the same 14nm architecture that has been running since Skylake.

Intel Core i9-10900K is 30% faster than i9-9900K multithreaded and 3% single threaded

The Intel Core i9-10900K will be the flagship of the 10th generation desktop CPU family. Intel has a few tricks up its sleeve to deliver even better performance than the Core i9-9900KS. The i9-10900K has 10 cores, 20 threads, a total cache of 20 MB and a TDP of 125W. The chip has a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and a boost frequency of 5.1 GHz.

At the becnhmark the Intel Core i9-10900K was compared to the Core i9-9900K which has 8 cores and 16 threads. Since these are not public slides but internal performance projections, Intel also listed the PL2 power states of each chip that shows the maximum TDP when all cores reach boost frequency. The Core i9-9900K is a 95W and 210W (PL2) chip while the i9-10900K is a 125W and 250W (PL2) chip. These numbers put AMD's 7nm Ryzen chips a league ahead, and we're not even considering the impressive performance the AMD chip boasts with ECO mode applied.

Chip performance was measured in both single-core and multi-core scenarios with the list of tools including SYSMark, SPEC, XPRT and Cinebench R15. Surprisingly, Intel continues to use benchmarks internally that they themselves have said are not considered to be "real world" performance metrics.

In single-thread workloads, the chip is around 3% faster than the Core i9-9900K, which is due to its higher 5.3 GHz core clock compared to 5.0 GHz Core i9-9900K. On multithreaded workloads, the chip is up to 30% faster, which is also due to the fact that there are 2 additional cores (25% more) than the Core i9-9900K.

Both processors were tested with security patches through November loaded in the Windows 10 test configuration. With little to no single-wire performance boost and only multi-wire booms are expected from the Core i9-10900K at the cost of even higher power consumption, it appears AMD may offer a price cut on its existing series parts.
