A new report surfaced today claiming that the entire product line of Intel's Comet Lake CPU has been leaked. This results to the untimely reveal of the price, specs, and performance of the 10th generation CPU lineup from Intel. Additionally, it uncovers what the company is preparing to launch, which appears to be the continuation of several refreshes of the 14nm Skylake architecture from 2015.
The new Intel's Comet Lake CPU line up was leaked by Computerbase which claims that the original source is a Chinese-based tech forum site. If the latest leak is accurate, it seems that we will not be getting any crucial changes on the upcoming lineup knowing that it is based on the Skylake architecture. It might integrate several improvements from the process node, but that's it.
Intel's Comet Lake CPU line up is consists of 10th generation products that utilize 14nm +++ node, more than one +than the Coffee lake refresh. Based on the leaked data sheet, Intel's Comet Lake CPU line up is consists of Core i9 series with 10 cores will be available between $409 and $499. On its Core i7 SKUs, there are a couple of 8 core and 16 thread parts available between $339 and $389.
