In any case, so as not to discard the tradition, MSI did not explain either the way and it is not given a bizarre detail, supporting its consideration of the controversial methods established by them. In addition, they tested standard and F-processors (except GPU) put them in the same bag, so the data is weird but they treat it as if it isn't. It's not surprising where a manufacturer has this reputation, but at least the details can be interesting. Let's go see them.
The "quality" of Comet Lake-S CPUs for overuse
According to data released by the manufacturer, according to a group of processors acquired from Intel, only 2% of the Core i5-10600K (F) is considered Level A, with a clock height above Intel's definition. ; most, 52%, of B, met the specification, and up to 32% of the tested processors were level C, with less than specified.
The processor counterpart is the Core i9-10900K (F), and its quality looks better than it. According to the manufacturer's tests, 27% of the samples offer a good amount of overlap, which is not surprising or because these processors use all dies, they have 10 calories enabled. Some, however, were F processors (other than the GPU) as we mentioned earlier, so the data is mixed.
These are the words of Eric Van Beurden and Michiel Berkhout from MSI:
"This information is just from the batch that has arrived. We always get processors, so we always check for other internal sensors. Level B, which Intel encourages, is the standard we should expect to get when we buy one of these running processes, but some are less than that specified. , which we put in level C and others and above, level A. For example, out of 10,600 2% are in level A, out of 10,700 are 5% and the most interesting thing … out of 10,900 are 27%. in overclocks. »
Core i9-10900K, OC beast … and TDP
According to MSI, the Intel Core i9-10900K, which will be the headset for the Comet Lake-S generation, is a wild beast. Up to 27% of processors have higher OC compatibility than Intel said in its specifications, and that's good news because it means we can see them working at a much faster speed … but also claiming their use of the sky, and of course the heat they produce.
The graph above represents the operating requirements of this new series of applications. Curves denoting voltages (blue: 5-10600, red: i7-10700, green: i9-10900) are the multiplier used. Bars show the use of watts.
Of course, MSI did not share details of the method used to produce these models, or the number of processors that examined each of the models (not to mention that they swear iX tags are wrong).
In any case, it seems that the Core i9-10900K uses a lot of upside and up to 275 watts at maximum load, a fact that can be a real hassle for even the most advanced heatsinks on the market.
VRM temperature
Finally, the manufacturer has also shared a table showing the VRM temperatures of the Core i9-10900K stock and it was excessively available during testing on the Cinebench R20.
As you can see, VRM temperatures are also slowly rising, so board manufacturers will have to get up and put good heatsinks on VRMs if they don't want users using these processes to start having problems.
