Intel 10th "Gen" CPU Specs, i9-10900K Delid, PCIe Gen4 Future, & Overclocking Support

Intel's new 10-series desktop CPUs, including the Intel i9-10900K, i7-10700K, i5-10600K, and more, had specs detailed today. Some looks promising, but the marketing was just bad.

Intel today announced its official 10-series ("10th Gen") desktop CPUs, including specs and prices, and it also discussed a renewed focus on thermals by confirming something we previously published. The company is sticking with STIM, or solder (thermal interface material), but is doing die sanding / die thinning for K-SKU parts only to help further improve thermal transfer. The IHS maintains the same thickness in order to maintain mechanical socket compatibility with existing coolers. Intel has also moved to socket LGA1200 from LGA1151, and those extra 49 pins are for future "incremented" I/O capabilities. We've checked around and we're fairly certain that Intel's socket LGA1200 will be usable with the immediately following CPU, likely fitted with PCIe Gen4 and usable in Z490 motherboards. At least, that's the plan according to motherboard manufacturers. We'll soon have benchmarks and reviews of the Intel Core i9-10900K, i7-10700K, and the others, including competitive analysis versus AMD's R5 3600, R7 3700X, R9 3900X, and more. Z490 vs. Z390 differences are slim, also discussed in the content.

Unfortunately, Intel couldn't get through the presentation without making at least a few things up, and that's something we discuss in the video.
