Overclocker sets new world record with Intel Core i9 running at 9.12GHz

The pursuit of 10GHz CPU clock speeds continues, with a Chinese overclocker recently pushing closer to the milestone. Using an Intel Core i9-14900KF, a new world record frequency has been set at 9.122GHz.

Chinese overclocker wytiwx has dethroned Elmor, who previously held the record with a 9.118 GHz overclock on the Intel Core i9-14900KS. The new record, achieved on an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, pushes the Core i9-14900KF to 9.122 GHz.

To achieve this feat, wytiwx employed liquid helium to cool the CPU and disabled all E-cores and hyperthreading on the i9-14900KF, focusing the system's resources on pushing the eight P-cores to their absolute limit. The core voltage was set to 1.387V. Interestingly, the record-breaking run was achieved on the ageing Windows 7 OS.

While this new record falls short of the mythical 10 GHz mark, it represents a significant milestone in pursuing extreme clock speeds. It also highlights the overclocking potential of Intel's Raptor Lake-S Refresh architecture, even as the company focuses on efficiency with its latest Arrow Lake CPUs.

KitGuru says: Intel might be dominating the frequency records currently, but it's worth remembering that AMD's FX-8350 held the world record for over a decade. Do you think you'll see an AMD CPU breaking the CPU frequency world record anytime soon?
