It seems as though the K-series CPUs will come first, but how long the Core i3 and F-series processors will be held back, we still don't know. We still don't know what the release cadence is going to be for the different processors as there are a large number of chips listed in the 10th Gen range. The motherboard vendors were reportedly ready to roll with their new 400-series boards around the end of last year/beginning of this, but Intel was seemingly still working on getting the power requirements of its 14nm 10-core offering down. There has long been speculation that this generation of chips would release around April - May this year, after a relatively long time in the wilderness. Though there is still some speculation as to whether that might be a pre-order timescale with a June actual launch. The next-gen Intel processors are almost here, and with the official reveal happening at the end of April it stands to reason that the actual on sale 10th Gen release date would be sometime in May. That means the top Comet Lake chip is the same price as the top Coffee Lake at $488, and the cheapest Core i3 is $122, but as the specs have changed you're getting a lot more for your money this generation. The pricing for Comet Lake has largely remained the same as the previous Intel generation on a tier-for-tier basis. Given that it's been spotted running at 5.4GHz across all ten cores it sounds like Intel might be right, though when you let it draw up to 250W maintaining that peak frequency gets a lot easier. That's what Intel is calling the Core i9 10900K, comparing it with its own i9 9900KS and AMD's Ryzen 9 3950X. Intel is also releasing six F-series chips without integrated graphics and with a lower sticker price. The Core i7 lineup will all come with eight cores and 16 threads, Core i5 chips are rocking six cores and 12 threads, while the Core i3 CPUs get four cores and eight threads. The top-end Core i9 processor comes with 10 cores and 20 threads, with a peak clock speed of 5.3GHz, but that peak is dependent on time and thermals. Which is lucky as with the Ryzen 3 3300X, AMD is releasing its own cheap chips with the same specsвЂ¦

Now even the lowly quad-core Core i3 chips get the HT technology, and while it can't quite match the performance of a dedicated eight-core CPU, having eight processing threads will allow the new Comet Lake budget silicon to rival a top-end Core i7 from the 7th Gen lineup. With the previous 9th Gen chips only the Core i9 processors included HT, while the Core i7, i5, and i3 CPUs had to make do with just the core-counts the gods gave them.

Whatever the motivation, having HyperThreading-the effective doubling of processing threads from a single CPU core-enabled throughout the range means that Intel has a far more compelling offering at every price point. And you can probably thank AMD for that, though no-one at Intel would ever admit the prevalence of HyperThreading (HT) is anything other than something the company's done out of the goodness of its collective heart. In this sense the present paper aims to complement Gonzalo FrascaвЂ™s reconciliatory attempt made a few years back and expand on his proposal.The headline-grabbing chip was always going to be Intel's first mainstream 10-core desktop processor, the Core i9 10900K, but it's what's happening throughout the rest of the CPU stack that's arguably more interesting. The semiotic perspective proposed allows research in the field to focus on the similarities between games and traditional narrative forms (since they share narrativity to a greater or lesser extent) as well as on their difference (they have different degrees of interaction) it will facilitate communication among theorists if we want to understand each other when talking about games and stories, and it will lead to a better understanding of the hybrid nature of the medium of game. However, there is need for a wider theoretical perspective, that of semiotics, in which both approaches can be operative. The aim of this paper is to propose a way out of the dilemma, suggesting that both ludology and narratology can be helpful methodologically. In the last ten or fourteen years there has been a debate among the so called ludologists and narratologists in Computer Games Studies as to what is the best methodological approach for the academic study of electronic games.
