Intel Core i9-13900K Overclocked to 8.2GHz With LN2
Just as AMD’s Zen 4-based Ryzen 9 7950X was seen overclocked to 7.2GHz not too long ago, Intel has their own Raptor Lake-powered 13th-gen Intel Core i9-13900K clocked to a staggering 8.2GHz – under liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling.
Intel has promised much higher clocks on Raptor Lake (RPL) processors over its predecessor, the 12th-gen Alder Lake (ADL) CPUs – despite using the same Intel 7 process node. During the Intel Creator Challenge Finale, renowned overclocker Allen “Splave” Golibersuch has managed to overclock the Core i9-13900K to 8.2GHz on a single core. The remaining cores stayed between 5.7GHz to 6.3GHz and the E-Cores are disabled in this overclocking attempt.
For comparison, the previous generation Core i9-12900K managed 7.6GHz in the highest overclocking attempt; and AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X was seen to clock as high as 7.47GHz in the latest HWBot entries. However, this is still some away to go before toppling the record of highest clocking CPU of all-time: that award goes to AMD’s FX series FX-8370 CPU which clocked at 8.7GHz.
Pokdepinion: Can we see 10GHz processor that Intel envisioned two decades ago to finally happen (even if it’s under XOC conditions)?
