Intel Core i7-8086K Listed, First 5.00 GHz Processor

8350 @ 5ghz , that is an Overclock right, doesnt count!!! has to be 5ghz all cores out of the box, no Overclocking?? and a BOOST clock shouldnt count, it should be the base clock that hits 5ghz on all cores 24/7 to be considered a world first 5ghz cpu!! but thats not how it is??

more like say an ..

Intel Core i7 8900k Eight-Core Processor (16 Threads) @ 5ghz base clock and a 5.4 ghz boost clock (all cores) 5.7ghz (1-2 cores) (JUST AN EXAMPLE, NOT A REAL CPU!)

OR

(2nd Gen zen core,(2019) not zen+ like the 2000 series)
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3rd GEN Eight-Core Processor (16 Threads) @ 5ghz base clock and a 5.4 ghz boost clock (all cores) 5.7ghz (1-2 cores) (JUST AN EXAMPLE, NOT A REAL CPU!)

What you said is very confusing.

My CPU is 5.0 across all cores, non boost. If you want to get Technical the 9590 is the first 5.0GHz chip which is the same cloth as the 8350. The 8700K is just a factory overclocked part, nothing more.

For the record, again, the FX-9590 was the first CPU to reach 5ghz by design. Intel reached this 5 years later with the 8086K. The OP got it wrong and has yet to correct the mistake.

Well, it did it on a criminal power consumption. Intel could have achieved it a very very long time ago with an out of the box 2700K+ of some kind, they all reached 5Ghz pretty much, and do it with much less power than the FX9590, but i don't think they wanted to make it limited only to some boards. As ironic as it may sound today.

The FX 9590 ended up doing mixed PR work. There was definitely a lot of negative there. @eidairaman1 , woah there.

Yeah I played one of the Quake games all the way through at 5.2GHz on my 2500k. I guess I did hit the cpu lottery once.
