Intel’s sticking to 10th Gen and 10000-series branding for its next-gen CPUs
Intel has been creeping closer to a crossroads ever since it first adopted the Core series naming schema with Nehalem. At some point Intel was going to run out of three- and four-digit names and be forced to either find another nomenclature or adopt an unwieldy five digits, and now we have the answer: the i5 10210U has appeared on 3DMark.
It’s a bit of a mouthful but various leaks across the web over the past week indicate Intel will be sticking to its guns and employing 10th Gen branding for its upcoming processors. We suspect Intel Comet Lake will be the first to make use of the 10th gen brand in the desktop space, the 14nm follow-up to Coffee Lake suspected to launch sometime between Q3 and Q2, 2020. But for mobile Intel has reiterated Ice Lake will be ready for launch before the end of 2019.
Eagle-eyed Twitter leaker Tum_Apisak spotted the Intel Core i5 10210U entry within the 3DMark database, confirming what looks to be a quad-core mobile processor running at 2.1GHz base and 3.8GHz boost. The chip utilises HyperThreading to double its thread count up to eight.
