The most exciting question about the new Comet Lake processors from Intel is now answered by an extensive leak: How expensive are the Core i 10000 CPUs? This is also a very important factor in a duel with AMD (Ryzen).
According to authentically acting foils, who published Wccftech among others, will give players more threads and slightly higher clock speeds for the same price. The new top model Core i9 10900K also offers two cores more than before.
The following comparison tables compare popular current Intel models and their successors, including the official price (according to Leak). Although this refers to the purchase of 1,000 pieces, experience has shown that the euro price for end customers in this country is not far from it.
Embargo case is imminent: The leaked foils with all CPUs of the Core-i-1000 series and their data can be found at the end of this article. The corresponding embargo should end tomorrow at 3 p.m. By then at the latest, there should be final clarity about Comet Lake S.

How well is Intel positioned with Comet Lake against Ryzen?
Basically just as good (or bad, depending on your point of view) as before. While it is generally to be welcomed that all Intel models now offer virtual core doubling (or hyper-threading), as has long been suspected, this has been true for most Ryzen processors since 2017 and is usually not a very important factor in games .
Experience has shown that the slightly increased clock rates should only make a slight difference in performance. The biggest innovation is the increase in the number of cores in the i9-10900 models from eight to ten – but that should still be of little importance in games at the moment.
As a result, AMD remains well equipped with the Ryzen 3000 models. In terms of core number, performance and price, it should continue to be the recommendation for a fast gaming PC with a good price / performance ratio. Should the Ryzen 4000 really come later than previously thought (see the following link), it would be easy for AMD to cope with.

Also to consider: A new motherboard with socket 1200 is required for the operation of the upcoming Comet Lake S CPUs. After all, coolers for the predecessor socket 1151 should be compatible.
