Intel® Core™ i9-10900E

The Intel Core i9-10900E is a embedded processor with 10 cores and 20 threads, built on the Comet Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Apr 2020. Clocks run from 2.8 GHz base to 4.7 GHz boost. A 20-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1200 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core i9-10900E scores 2,874 in single-core performance and 18,744 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,340 for overall performance, 16,207 for productivity performance, 15,482 for creator performance, 19,798 for engineering performance and 13,308 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,874 per core, 937 per thread and 288 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 910. Its performance index is 91, so its overall performance is 9% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i9-10900E scores 76,784 in integer math, 46,959 in floating-point math, 281,160 in compression, 6,136 in cryptography, 946 in physics simulation, 17,873 in vector SIMD, 58 in the prime sieve and 35,539 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 30% above in integer math, 2% above in floating-point math, 23% above in compression, 47% below in cryptography, 13% below in physics simulation, 15% above in vector SIMD, 13% below in the prime sieve and 57% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i9-10900E has 10 physical cores and runs 20 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.80 GHz and boosts up to 4.70 GHz.
