Intel 10th Gen "Comet Lake-S" Desktop CPU Availability and Review NDA Pushed to Almost-June

Intel has reportedly split the launch of its upcoming 10th generation Core "Comet Lake-S" processor into two unusually distant dates, April 30 and May 27, 2020. It was earlier believed that the processors would be announced on April 30, with availability "shortly after," (read: within 10-14 days...

It will be interesting to see what they bring to the table in terms of PCI lanes, TB3 vs USB4.0 and all of that.

What is it with this PCI lanes. What do you need them for and how many?

The new Comet Lake-S CPUs will still be built in the now extremely refined 14 nm process, and allegedly keep the same 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes as current Coffee Lake Refresh offerings. The new CPU offerings from Intel are expected to roll out in Q2 2020.

More of the same. 14nm process, add a few cores, delayed product launch and 16 PCIe 3.0 Lanes.

PCI 4.0 currently only available on AMD systems have large improvements in NVME speeds. 3.0 NVME avg 3000, 4.0 avg 5000 Mps. For graphics its not much of a difference yet because of low memory bus speeds, but Navi2 (RDNA2) may kick up the data transfer speeds which could make a difference. So for now its only the disk speeds that are benefiting.

They are planning on re-releasing Haswell Pentiums to meet current demand as well.

re-releasing Haswell Pentiums

Haswell Pentiums ?? Maybe they just have some sitting around and want to clear them out ?

Why can't Intel just get its act together?
