The overclocking team also broke PiFast and SuperPi world records while the liquid helium was flowing.
An Intel Core i9-13900K has been nudged past 9GHz, to achieve a CPU clock speed world record. En-route, the current flagship Intel 13th Gen Core ‘Raptor Lake’ processor grabbed CPU performance world records in benchmarks like PiFast and SuperPi. Intel boasts that this is the second time since launch, just three months ago, that the 13900K has leapfrogged a longstanding processor overclocking frequency world record.
Intel worked with the ASUS overclocking team for the headlining 9GHz OC achievement. Readers won’t be surprised that extreme cooling was applied to the flagship Intel CPU for it to achieve this momentous clock speed. Specifically, the processor was bathed in liquid helium while voltages were tweaked and clocks were ramped.
