Intel Core i9-10900K to be 30% faster than Core i9-9900K in multi-threaded workloads

These figures leaked online courtesy of our colleagues at Tom's Hardware. According to their report, the upcoming flagship Intel Core i9-10900K for the mainstream LGA 1200 desktop platform will boast a 30% performance advantage over the current flagship, the Core i9-9900K.

Both CPUs were benchmarked in SYSMark, SPEC, XPRT, and Cinebench R15.

In single-threaded workloads, the upcoming flagship Core i9-10900K was about 3% faster than the current i9-9900K. This likely stems from the new chip's more aggressive turbo boost, reaching up to 5300MHz on a single core compared to the Core i9-9900K's 5000MHz.

In multi-threaded environments, the 10-core, 20-thread Core i9-10900K outperformed its 8-core, 16-thread predecessor by 30%. This boost is largely expected, given the new chip's two additional cores.

It's currently unclear how exactly these benchmarks were conducted. For instance, it's unknown whether the new Thermal Velocity Boost technology (an automatic CPU overclocking feature dependent on temperature and power consumption) was enabled.

A logical question also arises: Why was the Core i9-9900K chosen as the benchmark's opponent for the Core i9-10900K when it hasn't been the flagship for two months? The faster Core i9-9900KS superseded it back in November 2019.

Keep in mind, however, that these are Intel's internal tests. We'll need to wait for independent benchmarks before drawing any final conclusions.
