Intel Core i7-4770K Overclocked to 7 GHz
Launch of Intel's Core i7-4770K "Haswell" processor may be a month away, but the chip has been in circulation for some time now. An overclocker going by the handle "rtiueuiurei" managed to get an engineering sample of the chip past the 7 GHz mark, 7012.65 MHz to be precise. A base clock of 91.07 MHz, multiplier of 77.0x, and a staggering 2.56V core voltage, unless CPU-Z read it wrong. A single 2 GB memory module was used; no other details were revealed. Core i7-4770K and a fleet of compatible socket LGA1150 motherboards launch around the first week of June.

As for the OC, other current CPUs have reached higher clocks, so unless Haswell has a much higher IPC throughput, I hope this is not the limit of its potential.
Impressive still considering this is an ES.
Pretty nice, but what I'm more inclined to look at is the huge multi vs the downclocked BCLK.
As you can see from this slightly more in-depth article, 2.65v must have been a mistake as you can hit 6.2GHz on just 1.2v.
Plus for those that were asking this was gone on a ASUS Maximus VI*Extreme Edition.

"Haswell Achieves 3322 MHz Memory Overclock
The most important thing to note is that the APACER memory on the Core i5-4670T rig was overclocked to an impressive 1661 MHz, which means an effective clock speed of 3322 Mhz. This is quiet impressive since these speeds are similar to what we would be looking at when DDR4 becomes standard in 2015.

Haswell push to 8 GHz !!
Why not update CPUz, new cpuz shows vcore instead.
While 7GHz may sound impressive, it's just that, a worthless high clock you can't use for anything.
24/7 overclocks are much more important to me.
