Succession
Coffee Lake Whiskey Lake Rocket Lake

Comet Lake (CML) is Intel's successor to Coffee Lake, an enhanced 14 nm process microarchitecture for mainstream desktops and mobile devices.

For desktop and mobile, Comet Lake is branded as 10th Generation Intel Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, and Core i9 processors.

Codenames

Core	Abbrev	Description	Graphics	Target
Comet Lake S	CML-S	Mainstream performance	GT2	Desktop performance to value, AiOs, and minis
Comet Lake U	CML-U	Ultra-low power	GT2	Light notebooks, portable All-in-Ones (AiOs), Minis, and conference room

Brands

Intel is expected to release Comet Lake under 3 main brand families:

Logo	Family	General Description	Differentiating Features
			Cores	HT	AVX	AVX2	TBT	ECC
	Core i3	Low-end Performance
	Core i5	Mid-range Performance
	Core i7	High-end Performance
	Core i9	High-end/Enthusiasts Performance

Release Dates

Comet Lake processors were introduced in a number of phases. Initial mobile processors were launched on August 21, 2019. Intel followed up with the remaining desktop parts on April 30, 2020. Enterprise and vPro models were followed on May 13, 2020.

Compatibility

There are no official drivers by Intel for Windows 7 or Windows 8. Microsoft announced that only Windows 10 will have support for Kaby Lake. Linux added initial support for Kaby Lake starting with Linux Kernel 4.5.
