Purported internal Intel doc reveals Core i9-10900K tests: Up to 30% gain in threaded work

This document includes SYSmark, SPEC, XPRT, and Cinebench benchmarks, and with the exception of Cinebench, most of these benchmarks are quite kind to Intel and are used quite frequently in Intel's internal benchmarks. That 30% performance bump comes from the SPEC benchmark, and Cinebench R15 results are just behind it with a 26% increase. Given that the 10900K is a ten-core CPU and the 9900K is only an eight core, it isn't surprising that we're seeing this kind of performance. Other benchmarks show a much lower improvement, especially XPRT which averages about 3-4% higher on the 10900K than the 9900K. This benchmark measures single-threaded performance, and since we know the architecture isn't really that different than its predecessor, it's almost certain that Intel has yet again increased clock speeds with this upcoming 10th-Gen chip. It's noteworthy that the test results peg the 10900K at a 125W TDP, but also lists a 250W TDP. The second value should represent the chips' PL2 power state that's required to hit all-core boost clock rates.
