"The base clock is listed as 3300 MHz, with a boost clock of 3314 MHz. Of course, that can’t be right, and the tweet was also followed up by user APISAK showing a screenshot with a turbo clock of 4689 MHz – a much more believable figure.

All things considered, though, these aren’t tremendous jumps from the last-gen product. Comparing it with the Intel Core i5-9600, it’s a 200 MHz jump in base frequency and a 100 MHz jump under boost, along with the addition of Hyper-Threading. The latter will probably make the biggest difference, though even then, this chip will in all likeliness merely be a mild bump so that Intel can say it has a new 10th-Gen Core i5, rather than a whole new product.

Only time will tell though, so before we judge too hard in anticipation, it's best to wait and see what’s really coming."

A resurrected i3-4160 would do the job nicely. Haswell FTW.

Dat sweet 22nm goodness is coming back soon!

Seriously though AMD numbering can be painful at times but Intel needs to put down the meth pipe. Looking at that number I'd guess it has 10 cores, not six. MEDIOCRE!

That's probably what Intel wants you to think, just look at the i3 and stop right there.

Both conventions are opaque. It's a *600 part, which puts it as the second-tier product in line with the i5 branding going back at least to the 4000-series.

They need to sell at the lower price tier, stay tuned for unlocked celerons with HT

There are Pentiums with HT already... why would this be different?

He's talking about that now that the Core i3 is expected to be 4c/8th, the Pentium will probably be 4c/4t, leaving the Celeron 2c/4th


You can't drop in a 10c/20th at $500 to battle AMD, and not expect he rest of the chip lineup to move downwards. And that includes a top-end 6c/12th starting at at $200-$250, and 8C/16th starting at $350-$400.

Intel currently has nothing to compete with the Ryzen 3000G at $50, or the $95 3200G (overlaps with the Pentium). The Celeron is ripe for getting HT, and the Pentium will probably get 4 real cores.

Thanks AMD!

I remember when Intel's Core Processor naming scheme was quite simple:

(in a nutshell)
Celeron = Pentium with less cache
Pentium = same core count as the i3, but no HT
i3 = half the core count of the i5, but with HT
i5 = same core count as the i7, but no HT
i7 = all the cores, all the cache, and all the HT

...and it made selections quite easy. Seems that they keep adding submodels to every tier while even adding to the tiers (looking at you, i9), which just muddies the waters, imo.


Regardless, it will be interesting to find out how the 10-series stacks up against the competition.

They've done it with the 8000- and 9000-series, why would the 10,000-series be different?

Intel had planned to up core counts with 10nm, four years ago when it was slated to launch -- is it surprising that they're doing it on 14nm while they get the newer fab lines sorted?
