Comet Lake (microprocessor)
Comet Lake is Intel's codename for its 10th generation Core microprocessors. They are manufactured using Intel's third 14 nm Skylake process refinement, 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,[2] H-series mobile CPUs on April 2, 2020,[3] desktop Comet Lake-S CPUs April 30, 2020,[4] and Xeon W-1200 series workstation CPUs on May 13, 2020.[5] Comet Lake processors and Ice Lake 10 nm processors are together branded as the Intel "10th Generation Core" family.[6]

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.[7]
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;[8] Turbo Boost Max 3.0 support for Core i7, 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 500 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.[9][10][11][12]
Entry-level CPUs like the i3 series no longer support ECC memory.[13]
