The Intel Core- series of processors have now received their latest upgrade in the form of the Comet Lake Refresh. This new updated range brings some highly sought after improvements, including the fact that CPUs with unlocked multipliers now offer soldered heatspreaders (IHS). This enables heat to be more effectively dissipated away from the CPU, allowing higher clock frequencies over longer periods of time.
The Intel Core i7-10700K is the new high-end model of the Core 10,000- series and offers eight cores with Hyper-Threading (SMT), capable of processing up to 16 threads simultaneously. The enthusiast-class CPU is also capable of offering increased clock frequencies and optimised boost functions when compared to its predecessors. The TDP of this Ten-Core processor is 125 Watts. The processor is compatible with socket 1200 motherboards from the 400-series.
Upgraded from my AMD Ryzen 7 2800X to this bad boy. My fps in games like Call of Duty MW, Battlefield 5 and Shadow of Tomb Raider, all Ray tracing games on my RTX 2080 Super, was incredible. Before with RTX enabled and all on max, I was getting 40-65 fps on my ryzen, now I get 90-150 depending on which game it is. My i7 is sitting on an Aorus Elite AC z490 board and 32gb Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3000MHz. All in all, an excellent upgrade for me
