If this source is valid, it seems like the upcoming 10th gen Comet Lake CPU line will be released at the end of May, I guess depending on location it may take some more time for each one.

Excited, as I plan to upgrade my 7700K to the 10900K, expecting for some significant improvements.

Quoting from the article -- "With the launch set for the end of May which essentially lands close to mid-2020, the question arises that how long of a shelve life would Comet Lake-S CPUs as recent rumors have suggested its immediate successor, the 11th Gen Rocket Lake-S family is expected to launch later this year. This would mean that we are looking at less than 6 months before which Comet Lake-S CPUs would be replaced by a lineup that is better than it."

If I were you, I would wait.

Yes, that's a valid note, I also read it after I made the post. Makes me wonder why they would release a new version so fast.

 

New socket 1200 new motherboard Z490 not backward compatible that's why I am going to what till the end of the year, all will be released and benched by then.

I was thinking of a 9900KS but they are a limited run and now hitting the £1,000 or more mark if they have them no more in the pipeline, so it looks more like a 10 core 10th gen.

I think Intel is very worried about the fall projected release of AMD's Zen3. See https://www.techradar.com/news/amd-zen-3 for info about possible release dates. Rumor is Zen3 will have significant performance gains (see https://www.techspot.com/news/83347-zen-3-rumored-flaunting-monumental-ipc-gains-early.html).

If you want to run benchmarks then AMD if you want to game Intel still gaining market share.

The worst possible timing for such premiere ...

It's ironic that you would post this today, since it has recently been cast in doubt:

I'd wait and see how the single thread performance is when compared to your present CPU, before wasting money on a CPU upgrade. It's possible that MSFS will spread the work out over 8+ cores more evenly than the legacy sims do, but that also is an unknown at this point in time.

I'm in the market for a new build as well and was curious about the i9-10900K series. I'm assuming that will be on a new chipset LGA1200 and require a Z490 motherboard?

Does anyone know when this chip will be released? I'm starting to piece my new build together and plan on ordering some parts while holding off until the end of the year for the next gen CPU and video cards to come out.

I am an AMD guy and quite happy w my gaming performance in xplane 11.  The 3700x is no joke of a chip, if the ipc gains in the next gen are 10-15% plus a small increase in clocks I will be totally happy, especially w the recent vulkan perfrmance gains of 25-30%. I think amd has closed the gap with intel so much that you can make up for it w a beefier GPU which now is under extreme load in vulkan, not sure about ms2020 or p3d.  Not here for a flame war, just want to tell people who are looking not to look past AMD, this isnt bulldozer AMD anymore.

AMD's CPU division is doing a great job these last couple years.  GPUs are a different story, but hopefully they'll get there with "Big Navi" later this year.  I'm probably going to build a 16 or 32-core AMD system here when the CV stuff dies down and things start to go back to normal.  Intel is still fastest for gaming, but the gap has indeed narrowed.
