![]() ![]() We’ll see board partners using up to 16-phase VRMs and 90A MOSFETs for the CPU in order to support the 125W-TDP chips and any overclocking. With the increase in TDP of the higher-end CPUs, motherboard makers have also improved power delivery, focusing on increased VRM capabilities across all models. Intel Z490, Z390 and Z370 Chipset Comparison Feature For now, there are plenty of new motherboards to dive into, along with the updated Z490 chipset. When the time comes, we’ll also have a full CPU review as well as a fully updated product list. At this time, all SKUs haven’t been identified, but it’s likely we’ll see 8-core/16-thread and 6-core/12-thread variants once the product line fills out. The new i9-10900K has a base clock of 3.7 GHz with thermal velocity boost listed at 5.3 GHz. Where the previous generation stopped at eight cores/16 threads (8c/16t), the new Intel CPU flagship, i9-10900K (125W), brings 10 cores and 20 threads to the table, dropping down to 4 cores and eight threads with i3-103xx SKUs at a much lower wattage. Additionally, there is better power delivery designed to handle the higher TDP’s of these new juiced up CPUs, which are still effectively Skylake with more cores and faster clock speeds. Below, we’ll detail what we know about all the new boards and the chipset so far - including PCIe 4.0 capabilities on some models with future processors, and trends towards faster Ethernet and memory support. ![]()
