Intel’s Core i9-10900K ‘up to’ 10% faster than Core i9-9900K
Intel's upcoming Core i9-10900K CPU could be as much as 30% faster than the 
The 10th-Gen chip is a 10-core, 20-thread CPU built on Intel's 14nm Comet Lake process on the LGA1200 platform. The CPU also has an increased TDP of 125W, which allows higher clock speeds compared to the 9900K. Tom's Hardware also notes that the slide shows a 250W TDP, which may be the power state required to hit all-core boost rates.
The 30% number comes in depending on the test. The 10900K scores 30% and 25% higher compared to the 9900K in SPEC.org's SPECint2006 and SPECfp2006 tests. It also saw a 26% bump in Cinebench R15. The performance improvements drop from there with a 10% in SysMark 2014 SE and a few single-digit improvements on tests that don't generally scale with the addition of extra cores.
The 10900K brings with it a clock-boosting technique called Thermal Velocity Boost to bring clock speeds up to 5.3 GHz, but the single-digit changes to some of these tests suggest that gains aren't huge.
Ryzen 3000 chips are offering better performance in multi-thread performance, so aggressive pricing is going to continue to be a factor in how Intel's chips do going into their 10th generation.
