Intel has finally launched its new 10th-gen Core processor series. As of yesterday, reviews for the top-tier CPUs are already making the rounds online. Our colleagues at computerbase.de tested two new CPUs from the lineup, and we're taking a look at a couple of screenshots from their work.
In professional applications, the new chips don't show anything supernatural. The six-core Core i5-10600K performs on par with its direct competitor, the Ryzen 5 3600X. The Core i9-10900K, lacking a direct rival due to its 10-core configuration, clearly outperforms the 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X and 3800X, but falls behind the 12-core monster, the Ryzen 9 3900X:

For instance, the previous-gen flagship, the Core i9-9900KS, performs virtually on par with the new 10-core Core i9-10900K, showing similar results:

Next, let's look at the first records achieved with the new Intel Core i9-10900K processor.
Let's start with CPU frequency. In the Core i9-10900K's category, as of May 21, 2020, overclocker under the alias elmor leads the pack with an impressive 7707MHz:
