A Comet Lake 10-core desktop processor in the form of the Intel Core i9-10900K has been flexing some multi-core muscles on Geekbench 5. The result recorded was 11,390 points, putting it way beyond the i9-9900KS on 9,458 points. Even AMD's 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X isn't far out of sight, with the Matisse chip pulling in 12,134 points.

While performance is one metrics, the other metrics that most failed to show is how much power is required for these new Intel chips. Intel have been pushing clockspeed each year on the same 14nm and chip architecture. The modest increased in the advertised TDP does not reflect the true extent of the power requirement for them to match up with competition. If the chips are running at based speed (no boost), then there is no way they are going to keep up with AMD.
It's not enough to be almost as fast, when you can be almost as fast--and slightly more expensive. How much will it cost?
INtel keep at base if boost will not able to beat AMD this is fact of Intel deception
so, same as before in gaming, but more power hungry :)
and no upgrade path to the future 7nm?
DAFOA platform
14nm of intel beat 7nm of AMD LOL
