Intel "Raptor Lake" Hits 8 GHz Under Extreme Cooling
The upcoming Intel 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" promises to be an overclocker's delight, with an extreme overclocking feat surfacing of an astounding 8 GHz overclock of the chip. There are several riders to this feat. The most obvious being that an engineering sample (and not a retail chip), was used. Extreme cooling, such as liquid-nitrogen was used to keep the feisty chip cool. All 16 of its E-cores were disabled, and the 8 P-cores had HyperThreading disabled.
A stunning 1.792 V core voltage was used, to get the clock speed up to 8000 MHz, with an 80.0 multiplier and 100 MHz base clock. This would be the first Intel processor in around a decade to hit the 8 GHz-mark, with the last one being the i7-5775C "Broadwell." The clock-speed leaderboard is dominated by the AMD FX-8350 and FX-8150, with the unbeaten record being The Stilt's 8772 MHz.

But let's see a realistic overclock on all-core with a standard 240-360 AIO before claiming it will be an overclocker's dream.
PS: Call me skeptical, but I somehow doubt this overclock was with all 8 P cores active...
Heck a P4 did 8GHz :D
Plus, E-cores are shut. They now are still of little use really and only cause scheduling problems.
And.
Good to see that FX still holding record.
