Confirmed configurations for Intel's 10th-gen Core processors: the i5-10600 (6 cores/12 threads) and i3-10300 (4 cores/8 threads) for LGA 1200.
As you likely know, the first quarter of 2020 is set to introduce Comet Lake-S, the fourth iteration of the Skylake architecture. Rumors suggest it will bring Intel's first 10-core, 20-thread chip to the mainstream LGA 1200 platform. But let's be real, with AMD already pushing multi-core solutions, the public won't be easily impressed by these specs.
But Intel made a somewhat unexpected move here, one quite uncharacteristic for the company. Older leaks had suggested that the 10th generation of Core processors would include Core i3 chips with 4 cores and 8 threads, and Core i5 models with 6 cores and 12 threads. Now, that information has received further confirmation.
To start, the 8-thread Core i3-10300 chip has appeared in the UserBenchmark database. This intel comes from the reputable insider TUM_APISAK on their Twitter account:

According to the leak, the processor operates at a 3700MHz base frequency, boosting up to 4200MHz automatically.
A second, equally important leak came from user _rogame on Twitter. The screenshot they posted reveals the Intel Core i5-10600 processor's frequencies: 3300MHz stock and a maximum turbo boost of 4500MHz. Unfortunately, neither its TDP nor cache size was specified.

Beyond the new CPUs, we're also expecting a completely refreshed LGA 1200 platform (Socket H5) and a new 400-series chipset lineup. Intel's strategy suggests this platform should stick around for a couple of years before its successor arrives.
Currently, there's no definitive word on whether existing LGA 115x cooling systems will be compatible with LGA 1200. However, rumors suggest older coolers should fit the new platform without issues.
