Intel Core i9-10850K w/ 10 Cores @ 5.2GHz Spotted for $450

The Intel Core i9-10850K which was spotted earlier this month on Geekbench has once again surfaced, this time on Digital Storm along with the specs and pricing. You’re looking at a 10 core part with SMT running at a base clock of 3.6GHz and a boost of 5.2GHz. The pricing appears to be set at $450, $50 less than the 10900K and $75 more than the Core i7-10700K:

The Core i9-10850K can be seen as an attempt from Intel to fend off the newly launch Ryzen 3000XT CPUs. Although Team Blue still holds a lead in gaming workloads, the XTs reduce it to an all-time low. Furthermore, the fact that you can pair a Ryzen CPU with a cheap B450 board along with high-speed memory and overclocking support makes it even harder for Intel to compete on a price-performance basis. The latter restricts overclocking and high-speed memory to its high-end Z series motherboards.
