Comet Lake is Intel 's codename for its 10th generation Core processors . They are manufactured using Intel's third 14 nm Skylake process revision, succeeding the Whiskey Lake U-series mobile processor and Coffee Lake desktop processor families. Intel announced low-power mobile Comet Lake-U CPUs on August 21, 2019,[ 5] H-series mobile CPUs on April 2, 2020,[ 6] desktop Comet Lake-S CPUs April 30, 2020,[ 7] and Xeon W-1200 series workstation CPUs on May 13, 2020.[ 8] Comet Lake processors and Ice Lake 10 nm processors are together branded as the Intel "10th Generation Core" family.[ 9] In March 2021, Intel officially launched Comet Lake-Refresh Core i3 and Pentium CPUs on the same day as the 11th Gen Core Rocket Lake launch.[ 10] The low-power mobile Comet Lake-U Core and Celeron 5205U CPUs were discontinued on July 7, 2021.[ 11]
Generational changes
All Comet Lake CPUs feature an updated Platform Controller Hub with CNVio2 controller with Wi-Fi 6 and external AX201 CRF module support.[ 12]
Comet Lake-S compared to Coffee Lake-S Refresh
Up to ten CPU cores
Hyperthreading on all models, except for Celeron
Single core turbo boost up to 5.3 GHz (300 MHz higher); all-core turbo boost up to 4.9 GHz; Thermal Velocity Boost for Core i9;[ 13] Turbo Boost Max 3.0 support for Core i7 and i9
DDR4-2933 memory support for Core i7 and i9; DDR4-2666 for Core i3, Core i5, Pentium Gold, Celeron
400-series chipset based on the LGA 1200 socket
Comet Lake-H compared to Coffee Lake-H Refresh
Higher turbo frequencies by up to 300 MHz
DDR4-2933 memory support
Thermal Velocity Boost for Core i7 and i9
Comet Lake-U compared to Whiskey Lake-U
Up to six CPU cores
Higher turbo frequencies by up to 300 MHz
DDR4-2666 and LPDDR3-2133 memory support
One notable architectural change of Comet Lake from its predecessors is removal of TSX instruction set extensions.[ 14] [ 15] [ 16] [ 17]
Entry-level CPUs like the i3 series no longer support ECC memory.[ 18]
