Intel 10th Generation Comet Lake-S Desktop CPUs To Feature Support on LGA 1200 Socket – Arriving in 2020 With Up To 10 Cores, 125W TDP

New information regarding the Intel Comet Lake-S line of desktop processors has leaked out over at XFastest. Compared to yesterday’s leak which was dodgy at best, the data posted by the source looks to be more reliable and reveals a few new details about the 400-series platform itself which will be supporting Intel’s 10th Generation processors.
The details are mostly about the platform itself but there are also two desktop roadmaps shown. The first desktop product roadmap shows that the next major updates to expect from Intel would be the Cascade Lake-X processors with up to 18 cores (165W TDP) on the LGA 2066 socket (X299). Intel’s Glacier Falls platform will replace the Basin Falls (Refresh) which was denoted by the X299 codename but we have already confirmed that the new motherboards would retain X299 naming as the chipset differences are not that huge and the platform is pretty much the same. A few board makers did anticipate a chipset change since we saw LGA 2066 socketed boards with X499 marking over them but those were just placeholders as Intel later revealed that they would be sticking with X299 for marketing.
