AMD's 5000 CPUs make the i9-10850K and i7-10700K look almost like bargains. However, the Intel chips are fast and thus inexpensive alternatives. If you don't gamble, you can also save money on a graphics card.
Comet Lake-S - This is the name of the 10th generation of Intel Core processors. In addition to increased clock speeds compared to the Coffee Lake-S Refresh of the 9th generation, Comet Lake-S supports higher memory speeds and offers support for Intel WiFi 6 (Gig+). It has the same dimensions as its predecessor but features additional pins, making Comet Lake-S processors incompatible with motherboards of a different socket.
