Intel "Raptor Lake" Hits 8 GHz Under Extreme Cooling

[btarunr]

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.

Bravo.

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...

CPUz says 8p/8 threads so it seems it was with all P cores active

I wonder what kind of wattage it needed at that...

1.79volt holly crap.

 

[freeagent]

Same old limits.. when are we going to see 10GHz+

Heck a P4 did 8GHz

5GHz on 8 cores without LN2 seems more impressive to me.

I saw but is that 100% reliable? I believe all the world records of 8ghz+ were always achieved on 1 core right?

It was achieved inside a power station

 

[Vayra86]

It was achieved inside a power station

On the last active reactor core of Zaporizja. IAEA sent a team to investigate

 

[bonehead123]

It was achieved inside a power station

Actually it was inside a warp core chamber, but point taken...

 

[Wirko]

It was achieved inside a power station

And it nearly stopped the generator and extinguished the burning coal.

 

[AM4isGOD]

it was actually probably on a shock horror..................table.

 

[Sabotaged_Enigma]

Dare to tell us the power consumption? Trying to drown a "Raptor Lake" I guess.
Plus, E-cores are shut. They now are still of little use really and only cause scheduling problems.

 

[Assimilator]

Not even top 100 in the world... pathetic waste of LN2. Fantastic job Intel marketing department, maybe next time try this with a product that's actually good.

The rare i7 5775c with 128mb cache had a record ? Well thats new

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

I see these a bit like if Ferrari came out and said they just achieved 200Mph in a car.

And.

 

[Jism]

Its a shootout to who gets the highest clock. 1 core, 64 cores, dont matter. The end game (the highest clock) is the winner.

Good to see that FX still holding record.

 

[Minus Infinity]

I love how this has become a professional sport so to speak. Utterly useless and ridiculous but still amazing the lengths people will go to for 5 minutes of fame.

8core - 8ghz? it doesnt seem realistic to me as mostly 1 or 2 core can achieve this kind of freq. with 8core @8Ghz is bit undigested to me

 

[Berfs1]

with the last one being the i7-5775C

Surely this is a mistake... right? The newest Intel CPU someone hit 8 GHz on was LGA775. I haven't seen a single legitimate submission since that has gotten to 8000. Some recent ones have gone to 7800, none have touched 8.

The rare i7 5775c with 128mb cache had a record ? Well thats new

Has to be a mistake, world record is like 5.2 GHz lmao
