Report: 10th Gen Core i5 Desktop Chip Uses Hyper-Threading

From PC Mag: It looks as though the 10th-generation Core i5-10600 spec has been revealed thanks to a (since removed) 3DMark benchmark result appearing for the chip.

As HotHardware reports, the 3DMark result is most likely for an engineering sample of the processor, which isn't expected to launch until some point in the first quarter of 2020. The benchmark was performed with the 10600 chip installed in an MSI MPG Z490 motherboard alongside 32GB of RAM.

What the benchmark reveals is the 10600 uses six physical cores and runs at a base clock speed of 3.3GHz, turbo boosting to 4.7GHz. The standout feature, however, is the inclusion of Intel's Hyper-Threading technology which allows the chip to offer 12 threads of computation.
