Intel has just announced the 10th generation Comet Lake Mobile CPUs for laptops. The new CPUs offer up to 6 cores and 12 threads and can boost up to 4.9 GHz. That is pretty impressive keeping in mind that we are talking about laptops here.
The CPUs come with up to 12MB of smart cache. The U series CPUs use 25W power while the Y series will consumer 4.5W. The graphics will run at 1.15 GHz. The major features of the intel 10th generation Comet Lake Mobile CPUs are as follows:
- Up to 6 cores and 12 threads
- Up to 4.9 GHz max turbo frequency
- Up to 12MB Intel Smart Cache
- Configurable up to 25W for maximum performance (U-series)
- Configurable down to 4.5W for 4-core fanless designs (Y-series)
- Up to 1.15 GHz graphics frequency
- LPDDR4x, LPDDR3, DDR4 memory speed increase to 2666 MT/s
Chris Walker, Intel corporate vice president and general manager of Mobility commented on these newly launched chips and he mentioned the following about them:
Our 10th Gen Intel Core mobile processors provide customers with the industryleading range of products that deliver the best balance of performance, features, power and design for their specific needs. From multitasking to everyday content creation, the newest additions to the family scale performance for even higher levels of productivity – in addition to offering best-in-class platform connectivity via Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) and Thunderbolt 3 that people expect with 10th Gen.
10th generation Comet Lake Mobile CPUs use the 400 series chipset and supports Intel Optane. You also get other bells and whistles such as WiFi 6, LPDDR4x and Thunderbolt 3. Interestingly the chips do not come with the Iris graphics but the regular UHD graphics. For better graphics, you will need to get the Ice Lake CPUs.
Let us know what you think about the new Intek 10th generation Comet Lake Mobile CPUs and whether or not you are interested in getting a laptop that is powered by one of these processors.
