Intel Comet Lake: Reply to Ryzen 3000 and Zen 2 with New Socket LGA 1159?

With the Ryzen 3000 CPUs, AMD has put Intel under significant pressure in the consumer sector. With more cores and new technology, AMD CPUs can now stand out from Intel models. Only a few hours after the release of Ryzen 3000, the Intel Comet Lake announcement came to light. These processors have good data, but still, leave some doubts in the inkpot. On the other hand, there are network rumors about a new socket for Intel called LGA 1159, although we haven’t confirmed anything.

The most reliable data we know about these Intel Comet Lake processors are the following:

 

  • The best processors will reach a counter of 10 physical cores
  • Some processors will come without integrated graphics
  • They will be released during the last quarter of 2019

Intel LGA 1159 is a reality?

According to the source, the presentations below were given by Intel itself for some information portals. However, some of the details do not match expectations for future products.

For the first time, an alleged list of Comet Lake’s upcoming processors can be found on the Internet. According to this list, CPUs will continue to be produced in 14nm production, which will be labeled as 14nm+.

 

First, you get Turbo 2.0 and Turbo Boost 3.0, which are only given to the high-end processors of the Core X series.

Then Intel is specially reserved with data about the lithography of these processors. It is the fourth/fifth decoupling of Skylake (depending on which one you look at) and it is called “14+++ nm”. This is not in line with the company’s latest publications, which provide little information about it.

We do have some things that we didn’t know about and feel to be excellent. Like the apparent inclusion of hyper-threading in this new generation, unlike most ninth generation processors.

Further improvements are the larger number of cores and even higher frequencies. However, we do not know how well they will compete with the new Ryzen 3000, which currently has a comparative advantage over them.

The important point is that Intel may have to make a drastic change. Nobody knows what the company’s plans are, but it wouldn’t be inappropriate to jump to a new outlet. There are rumors about the network pointing to an LGA 1159, although there is no reliable data on it.

So far, we can only record this information with tweezers, because other users claim that the new data is incorrect. If you want to know how the topic is changing, be aware of the news.
