Intel today published a new Product Change Notification today stating that it has started using an additional Assembly, Test, and Finish site to build its mobile Comet Lake CPUs. In the process, it accidentally disclosed model number of an unannounced processor, the Core i7-10810U. The new chip belongs to the Comet Lake-U family, so it was designed primarily for notebooks.

As the name suggests, the Core i7-10810U would be Intel’s new flagship Comet Lake product sitting right above the Core i7-10710U, which was introduced last summer. In this instance, the new CPU uses the A0 core stepping, which we know from previous disclosures that so it does not support LPDDR4X memory. As we reported back in January, only Comet Lake chips with the K1 core stepping support LPDDR4. Unfortunately, we have no idea about other specifications of the processor, but we asked Intel for additional information on the matter.

Intel from time to time refreshes its client CPUs in Spring in a bid to let PC makers to introduce improved lineup of products, so from this point of view an addition of the Core i7-10810U to the family is not surprising.

Back to the main topic of Intel’s PCN 117468-00 announcement. Starting from April 13, Intel’s OEM customers should be ready to get Core i7-10810U, Core i7-10710U, Core i5-10210U, Core i3-10110U, and Celeron Processor 5205U processors that were assembled in Vietnam. Previously, Intel only used its Assembly, Test, and Finish site in China to build its Comet Lake-U processors, so an additional site may improve availability. Given the local environment surrounding COVID-19, this is also likely Intel hedging its bets with its facilities, in the case that one isn't running.

    Blimey, those are some surprisingly impressive metrics. The long-term multicore cinebench stuff especially.

    Have to love an AT comment that links to a Reddit post about a leak that was originally posted on the AT forums.

    another article pointed out that the only difference is added vPro, base on its leak in a ThinkPad add.

    heh, i STILL cant buy ANY 10nm based intel notebooks here, and they are releasing yet another one ???
  • Valantar - Saturday, March 14, 2020 - link

    Comet Lake is 14nm.
  • Qasar - Saturday, March 14, 2020 - link

    heh, so it is based on 14nm, the way intel has named their cpus is very confusing as to which is what.
    still, no 10nm based products can be found where i am though.

    Why are Intel mobile CPUs so expensive?
  • scineram - Saturday, March 14, 2020 - link

    Supply and demand.
  • vozmem - Sunday, March 15, 2020 - link

    Hi scineram,
    That has not happen recently but for many years.
    In general, is it because mobile CPUs tweaked for running at low power? So is those tweaks what make them expensive?
