Intel's Comet Lake come with HSF?

[windwaver]

Hi guys, how does the Comet Lake stack up against current AMD offerings?

Does new Intel CPU come with HSF?

Thank you.

i think still is only the K series is without HSF. The rest should have.

I believe the answer is yes for non K versions, i.e. overclocking enabled versions. But the stock heatsink is really pathetic, and will to some extend hinder performance.

i recommend this read as it contains comparison charts for both amd and intel mid to high end offerings.

also this for low to mid tier: https://www.techspot.com/review/2033-intel-core-i3-10100/

Found this after digging for an hour

Thanks bro, really appreciate your post.

I mainly do office work and run several virtual machines so I'm not sure if Intel is faster or AMD. I don't overclock and use stock coolers.

In this case, the 10400 vs R5 3600 (similar price point). I've been reading and most reviews say that performance is similar.

Something that doesn't add up is how does a 14nm Intel CPU perform similar to an AMD R5 3600 that is 7nm?

The 10400 score 13k cpumark

while amd 3600 score 17.8k
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+5+3600&id=3481

amd is 36.9% faster
If its the same price why get intel?

Check up the reviews. It’s able to keep up by spamming it with a lot of power. Don’t be fooled by the 65W TDP. At full tilt, it may draw double of what is advertised on the box, in order to keep up with competition. That’s why I said, even though both stock coolers are bad, Intel’s high power consumption (results in high heat output) will result in poor performance even if you run at stock.

I see, that sounds logical. I'm was actually looking at the 2600 until it went OOS, so no choice but to look at 3600.

What is a good retailer to buy from in SLS? I've read that some retailers don't allow people to buy bundle (CPU+Mobo+RAM) and online prices are more expensive.

That's why I ended up re-looking at Intel again.

I feel whichever is cheaper, you can consider it. Honestly, both are capable CPUs, although Intel chips tend to be more power hungry. In both cases, it will help if you get a simple third party cooler without spending too much on it. The stock cooler just won't cut it, especially for the Intel chip.

Otherwise you can consider getting from the likes of Amazon if the price is better.

Mobo seems to be more expensive on Amazon
