hello my name is james dufur that's not true but what is true is everything i'm
about to say next within reason shall we begin later sounds good
Intel has launched its 10th gen comet lake desktop processors although as most
of the relevant tech press has pointed out already calling these 10th gen might
be a bit of a stretch as they're essentially modified versions of the 9th
gen lineup those modifications include the addition of hyper threading to every
processor in the core series and like three different types of boost clock i
mean you got turbo boost but then you've got turbo boost max 3.0 and thermal
velocity boost single slash all cord turbo ah it's like
it's like i just went to 5.3 gigahertz there myself
despite the seemingly light modifications these processors are
launching alongside the new z490 chipset which brings support for wi-fi 6 2.5 g
Ethernet and a new lga 1200 socket
while there's apparently no support yet for PCIe 4.0 which AMD did include in
the ryzen 3000 lineup some are speculating that z490 supports the
feature and it will be forward compatible with Intel's 11th gen rocket
lake cpus and by speculating i mean that this guy
from Gigabyte straight up said it in a live stream so
well z490 motherboards support 11th gen Intel rocket lake
um yes
