The latest batch of 10th-gen Intel Core processors have arrived, coming to us in the form of Comet Lake, and with core/thread counts going up to 6C/12T. These chips are still built on a 14nm process, but should offer considerable performance benefits over the previous generation for their intended devices – productivity notebooks.

This is the third 10th-gen launch Intel has had in the past couple of months, so we’d understand if you’re finding yourself a little confused with the differences. Currently, a seriously alluring architecture is the 10nm Ice Lake, but those models are only available in up to 4-core SKUs for the moment. While we’re happy to see Comet Lake arrive, we’re simply dying for Ice Lake desktop counterparts to come out – but alas, we shall continue to wait, and continue to be teased by these other releases.
