A Chinese “overclocker” known as “wytiwx” has set a new world record for CPU frequency, pushing an Intel Core i9-14900KF processor (which you can find on Amazon) oltre i 9,12 GHz. This result surpasses the previous record held by Elmor, the only one so far to have broken the 9 GHz barrier.
The test has been carried out using an extreme configuration, with the i9-14900KF stripped of E cores and hyperthreadingmounted on an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard with 16GB of DDR5 RAM. Surprisingly, Windows 7 was used as the operating system.
The new record was achieved with a voltage of 1.387V, probably using liquid nitrogen or helium cooling.
Normally, l’i9-14900KF ha 24 core (8 P e 16 E) e 32 threadwith a turbo frequency of 6 GHz. This is Intel’s fastest CPU for gaming, only surpassed by AMD X3D processors in some situations.
The margin of exceeding the previous record was only 4 MHz, suggesting that Elmor may soon try to regain the lead. While the i9-14900KF may seem like the ideal choice for overclocking, it is essentially a better-selected version of the i9-14900K.
Intel’s Raptor Lake series was the first to surpass the AMD FX-8350 Piledriver in 12 years. However, it is important to note that these extreme overclocks do not reflect the actual performance of the processors under normal conditions, requiring exotic cooling solutions and extreme settings.
The new generation of Intel processors may offer good overclocking potential for memory, but the new manufacturing process could limit the maximum frequencies of the cores in favor of greater efficiency.
25 years ago, Intel expected 10GHz processors by 2005. While frequency isn’t the only determining factor in CPU performance, the 10GHz barrier remains the next big thing for the overclocking community to break.
