Metrics for the latter have already popped up on Geekbench, but they allude only to minor performance improvements over the previous generation’s Skylake X i9-9900X. The Cascade Lake-X part managed a single-core score of 5204 (vs. 5202) and multi-core score of 39717 (vs. 40260).
The Core i9-10900X is a 10-core and 20-thread CPU is likely to become a lower tier in the family. It is a successor to Core i9-9900X, which features 10 cores and 3.5/4.4 GHz clock speeds (for base and turbo respectively). The Core i9-10900X would sport a 200 MHz higher base clock (3.7 GHz).
