Intel Core i5-10500T
Intel's 35 W Comet Lake-S desktop processor for LGA1200: 6 cores and 12 threads on a 14 nm process, 2.3 GHz base and up to 3.8 GHz boost, 12 MB cache, DDR4-2666 and UHD Graphics 630. Intel lists it only as a tray part, with a locked multiplier.
Pros
- 6 cores and 12 threads within a 35 W base power rating
- Boosts up to 3.8 GHz from a 2.3 GHz base clock
- Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 for display output without a discrete card
- 12 MB of Intel Smart Cache and DDR4-2666 support with up to 128 GB of memory
- Configurable TDP-down mode of 25 W at a 1.70 GHz base clock
Cons
- Locked multiplier, so no overclocking
- Short boosts can reach 92 W, well above the 35 W rating, so sustained clocks depend on cooling and board power limits
- PCIe 3.0 only, with 16 CPU lanes
- Intel lists it only as a tray part, with no cooler, and its ordering page now shows it as retired and discontinued
