Intel's upcoming 10th generation Comet Lake S processors are going to be the crown jewel of their 14nm lineup and manufactured on the 14nm+++ process. Pictures of these CPUs have leaked out on Chinese interwebs and a helpful tipster shared these with us. I believe these constitute the first shots of engineering samples as well as a CPU-Z screenshot of the same. The LGA1159 contact pads can also be seen on the backside of the processor and almost no spare PCB space now remains.
Interestingly, the information we were tipped implies that Intel is considering calling the Core i9-10900K, the Core i9-10900KF. This is something that is in-line with their previous lineup and should help set the 125W TDP part apart from the 65W parts. The company has recently increased the TDP limit of the CPUs from 95W to 125W to allow for higher sustained clocks and even higher "velocity boost" that goes up to an astounding 5.3 GHz on the flagship Core i9 10900K CPU. The Comet Lake S series will feature UHD 730 integrated graphics. The engineering sample in question has the prefix QSRK (qualifying sample) followed by the usual identification marks.
