It is reported that Intel's 14th generation Core processor 'Corei9-14900K' has set a new world record in clock frequency during overclocking



The desktop CPU '

Corei9-14900K ' released by Intel on October 17, 2023 is reported to have extremely high performance. In an experiment conducted by a team of engineers from PC manufacturer ASUS, it was reported that the clock frequency of the Corei9-14900K reached approximately 9GHz, breaking the previous world record.

Summary of overseas reviews of Intel's 14th generation Core high-end model 'Core i9-14900K', a super hot model that requires a CPU cooler with slight changes from Core i9-13900K - GIGAZINE



As a way to measure CPU performance, in addition to general benchmark measurements, tests using a function called ' overclocking ' that raises the clock frequency to a frequency that exceeds the maximum rated value are also conducted.

People who like to overclock are called 'overclockers,' and the ASUS overclocker team performed overclocking with the 'Corei9-14900KF,' which omitted the built-in GPU, and measured the clock frequency.

For the measurements, 16GB of Trident Z5 memory was used, the motherboard was ' Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore ', and the power supply unit was ' 1200W Enermax '. In addition, the overclock settings are applied to all eight high-performance cores (P cores) with hyperthreading disabled.

Furthermore, liquid helium was used to cool the CPU, and the CPU was successfully operated at an extremely low temperature of approximately -240°C. This is what it looks like during the measurement.



As a result of measurements by the overclocker team, the clock frequency of the P core achieved 9043.92MHz, significantly exceeding the previous world record of 8734.02MHz.



The ranking of highest clock frequencies is below. In second place and below are

Intel Core i9-13900K and AMD's ' FX-8370 '.



According to overclocker team SkatterBencher , measurements were taken over a full week to beat the previous world record. Also, in this test, although we succeeded in overclocking to 9100MHz, the screen froze, so it was not considered an official record.



Furthermore, measurements using the Corei9-14900K set new records for DDR5 frequency, which indicates the writing speed to DDR5 memory, and measurements using '

Super π ' and 'Cinebench R20', which are used as benchmarks. , the high performance of Corei9-14900K has been proven. The following is a ranking showing the results of DDR5 frequency measurements, and the first place at the time of article creation is 5806.5MHz recorded by the user ' lupin_no_musume '. According to ASUS, this user is also using Corei9-14900K.



Foreign media Wccftech says, ``As a result of measurements with various overclockers, it has become clear that the Corei9-14900K pushes the limits of conventional hardware performance.''

'Corei9-14900K' is also available on Amazon.co.jp, but it was temporarily out of stock at the time of article creation. The price is 110,909 yen including tax.
