is 6 cores the sweet spot for gaming? or 4?

"In terms of chipset features, W480 would be the most feature-rich of the three chipsets that are mentioned here. Z490 would be the most appealing for the enthusiast and gaming audience, but let's take a look at the mainstream chipsets. The W480 chipset would offer a total of 46 high-speed IO lanes and a total of 40 PCIe Gen 3.0 lanes. The CPUs would retain 16 lanes with the chipset offering up to 24 PCIe 3.0 lanes.

There would be support for up to 8 SATA III ports, 8 USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports or 10 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, 14 USB 3.2 Gen ports, and Intel RST. Neither of the three chipsets would feature overclock support since that is restricted to the Z490 chipset but we will get more information on overclocking later on from Intel themselves. Expect more information on the Z490 motherboards and Comet Lake-S desktop CPU family at CES 2020 where we should get more details about Intel's next-gen desktop family roadmap. Our sources have pointed out a proper launch in February 2020."

Are we expecting any real surprises with the i5-10600K or i7-10700K? Otherwise seems like a used 8700K combo is still the appropriate choice if you're doing Intel right now.
Also sounds like no new mounting kit from Noctua needed yet if "no changes to ILM dimensions or thermal solution retention" part is to be believed.
 
Can we get an architecture change even if only to get rid of the 5-digit generational nomenclature? It's really off-putting as an OCD enthusiast.
