The overclocking group from Asus has actually attained a brand-new CPU frequency world record with Intel’s new Raptor Lake Refresh Core i9-14900KF. The group had the ability to accomplish a really remarkable 9043.92 GHz on a single P-core with liquid helium, breaking the previous world record by 35.1 MHz.
The overclocking rig utilized to strike this brand-new world record consisted of Intel’s new Core i9-14900KF flagship CPU (no incorporated graphics), 16GB of G.Skill Trident Z memory, an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore motherboard, and a 1200W Enermax PSU. For cooling, the group utilized liquid helium (rarer, cooler, and more costly than liquid nitrogen) to reach a minimum thermal limit of unfavorable 235C– 240C. According to SkatterBencher, among Asus’ employee, it took the group an entire week to break the (now previous) CPU world record.
35MHz may not seem like a huge margin (and it isn’t), however in the land of CPU frequency records, any minute gains are big. The previous world record was held by the exact same Asus overclocking group, utilizing Intel’s previous-generation Core i9-13900KF to strike 9.008 GHz back in December of 2022.
Naturally, the Asus group is refrained from doing yet with Intel’s most current 14900KF CPU. After scoring their world-record outcome, the group pressed on and handled to quickly strike 9.1 GHz before securing. Regretfully, the system was too unsteady to verify ball game, making it a not successful 9.1 GHz effort. Their 9.1 GHz screenshot reveals there might be more in the tank for Raptor Lake Refresh’s boosted overclocking abilities– we might see another brand-new world record in the not-too-distant future.
Intel’s i9-14900KF is the business’s most current flagship CPU, sporting a gently revitalized taste of Intel’s Raptor Lake CPU architecture. Among the tweaks Intel produced its most current refresh is the addition of a modified Intel 7 procedure node that enhances the chip’s base/boost frequencies and enhances the chip’s overclocking capacity. The improvements appear to have actually settled, permitting SkatterBencher and his group to (re-)protect a world-record outcome with the brand-new chip.
It’s an interesting time for fans of this really specific niche CPU overclocking sport. This newest 14900KF outcome represents the 3rd damaged world record in under a year, all with Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen chips. Before Intel’s Raptor Lake chips took the program, AMD was on leading with a world record outcome of 8.722 GHz on the old Piledrive FX 8350, a record that had actually stayed unbroken for 8 years.
