Intel Core i9-13900K Breaks Overclocking World Record at 8.8 GHz
Intel Core i9-13900K processor has just been launched, and overclockers worldwide got their hand on a few samples to make history. According to the HWBot submission, a Swedish overclocker named "elmor" has pushed Intel's top-end consumer SKU to a fantastic 8.812 GHz. For more than eight years, the record for the single-highest overclocking speed was held by AMD FX-8370, from the now-bygone era of AMD Black Edition processors. The overclocking attempt was performed using liquid nitrogen (LN2) that cools the chip using its −195.8 °C temperature. Pushing core voltage to 1.850 Volts and VCCIN to 2 Volts, multiplier set to x88, and a bus speed of 100.15 MHz. In addition to the Core i9-13900K CPU, elmor used ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 APEX motherboard and 32 GB DDR5 GSKILL memory running at 4808 MT/s.
As a reminder, the FX-8370 CPU was holding the number one sport for eight years with a speed of 8.722 GHz. Beating the FX-8370 by just 90 MHz, it will be interesting to see if any of the upcoming CPU SKUs can match this overclocking record, and we are curious if any contender will come to beat elmor's current record.

The FX 8320E @4.9 got 295 pts in cpuz single core. The i7-2700K @4.9 got 485 pts.
But I paid the FX 130€ new and was an unlocked cpu. The 2700K was a 500$ msrp cpu, the X5670 a 1500$ msrp cpu, my current i7-5960X a 1000$ msrp cpu.
I sold the FX early this year and until then was perfectly fine @1080p with a RX 480, obviously dialing back some settings in the most demanding games.
In everyday usage was like my i7-5960X, slightly slower opening some programs (like 3DS Max). But the 5960X has 500 pts in single core cpuz @4.5Ghz, the 8320E @4.5 has 272 pts. Consider that nowadays both Windows and the programs that run in it are well optimized for multicore cpus, so the FX performs better than years ago in lot of tasks, even gaming. Despite the IPC flaw they did their job well.
Anyway, in my previous comment I was praising the overclock capabilities of these chips, that turned out to be great.
