Model overview based on user reviews  
The Intel Core i5 Comet Lake series offers a range of processors that are highly praised for their performance, affordability, and cooling efficiency. Users appreciate the excellent productivity and gaming capabilities, with many noting significant FPS improvements in games like Battlefield 5 and Metro Exodus. The processors are described as cold and efficient, often not requiring advanced cooling solutions. While some users mention the price as a potential downside, they generally find it justified given the performance. The i5-10600K and i5-10400F models are particularly highlighted for their overclocking potential and value for money. However, there are occasional reports of faulty units and issues with warranty claims. Overall, the Intel Core i5 Comet Lake series is recommended for those seeking a reliable and powerful processor for both gaming and productivity tasks.

Very pleased with the purchase. I definitely recommend it.
22 June 2020 
The processor is just incredible. On the old 6-core processor in Battlefield 5, I was getting 110-120 FPS, but with this one, it's 140-200. As for temperatures, I don't know why everyone complains so much; in idle, the processor is 26-30 degrees, and under load, it's 50-65. Is that a lot? Its critical temperature is 100 degrees, so it's fine. And that's on air cooling. A tower with 5 pipes, PCCooler H58U. With liquid cooling, it probably won't even exceed 50 degrees. I'm using it at stock, as I don't see the point in overclocking, everything runs great at stock. Overall, I'm as happy as a clam, the purchase was totally justified. As for temperatures, my previous processor heated up to 65-70 in an overclock to 4000 MHz. So this one isn't even hot. In conclusion, if you want to get the most out of your games, go with Intel! Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z490-H Gaming.
Productivity, set it and forget it.
I think only the price, although afterward you realize that it’s not a pity.

if money is tight, go for AMD, but if you have more to spend, choose the 10th generation i7 or i5.
17 June 2020 
well, pretty powerful, but AMD is cheaper.
intel soft support
consider the previous generation only with overclocking heats like hell for the i5 10600k with overclocking to 4.5 and 1.28 voltage barely managed by a good 200-watt cooler from a reputable manufacturer. The i3 also has thermal paste under the lid as well as other i5s except for the 10600k and i7 i9.

A good percentage for your money.

Excellent percent. Cold, productive, the price is quite good. Yes, yes, Amude top and all things, better, cooler and more. I have been using Intel processors since the very first PC and I was 100% satisfied with everything, and now I am completely satisfied. I recommend to buy this pro.
Good percent. Productive. For games and work with the same Adobe Premier is very suitable.
Didn't notice.

This time, Intel was able to

While AMD is struggling with a new process technology, the blue camp continues to sell obsolete processors at inflated prices. Moreover and sockets change. Last year, the company was regularly kicked for the top-end Core i5 with an index of 9600, which could become the leader of the middle segment if the company did not cut its multi-threading support. With the arrival of Comet Lake, everything has changed and now the new Core i5 10600K boasts multi-threading support and an unlocked multiplier.

6 cores, 12 threads, unlocked multiplier

The Core i5-10600K offers buyers six cores, twelve threads, 12 MB L3 cache and clock speeds ranging from 4.1 to 4.8 GHz. An unlocked multiplier will help push those numbers up a bit more by overclocking. However, it's not worth rolling the lip, Intel is already squeezing all the juice out of the 14-nm process technology, so the ceiling is groped very quickly during overclocking. In most tests, the alignment of forces is such that the Intel Core i5-10600K is comparable in performance to last year's Core i7-9700K, which was sold for almost $400. A couple of years ago, only very optimistic people could have predicted such a move towards both improvement and cost reduction by Intel.

A worthy competitor to the Ryzen 7 3700X

Compared to the Ryzen 7 3700X, it holds up more than worthy: in games it is a little faster, in work tasks it lags slightly due to the additional cores from Ryzen, but the difference is generally minimal. At the same time, the price in stores for both “stones” is completely identical for once, about $340, and the Core i5-10600K looks even slightly more profitable due to the built-in video core. But against the background of the younger model Core i5-10400F, the benefit is not so obvious: the performance gap rarely exceeds 15%, and the price in stores is one and a half times higher.
