AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Hits 7.25 GHz Under Extreme Cooling, 6.50 GHz All-Core
It's game on for clock-speed records, as some of the first ones are being set with the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X "Zen 4" processors. The first such feat is an absolute clock-speed record of 7.25 GHz (7247 MHz), set without disabling any cores. This is probably the highest clock achieved on a single core for "Zen 4," set using a multiplier value of 72.5x, and a scorching 1.506 V juice. The second feat is even more impressive, even though it's a lower-clock speed in absolute terms. The 7950X was overclocked to 6.50 GHz across all cores (that's all 16 of its cores). This was set using a core voltage of 1.465 V. In both feats, extreme cooling solutions such as liquid-nitrogen evaporators were used, and this only the first round of OC feats with these chips. Interesting times ahead for 7950X vs. i9-13900K overclocking and benchmark feats. The 6.50 GHz all-core OC in particular could pose a formidable challenge to the i9-13900K, which can sustain its maximum (5 GHz+) all-core OC clocks only on its 8 P-cores.
