Gigabyte is grinning from ear-to-ear after its Z790 Aorus Tachyon motherboard played a role in setting a benchmark record in Cinebench R23.
The caveat here is that we’re strictly talking about scores within the 24-core category. Intel’s Core i9-13900K is a 24-core/32-thread CPU with 8 performance cores (P-cores) clocked at 3GHz to 5.8GHz, and 16 efficient cores (E-cores) clocked at 2.2GHz to 4.3GHz.
Renowned overclocker Hicookie took a sample chip, doused it in liquid nitrogen (LN2) to keep the temps nice and chilly, and cranked the clock speed to a touch over 7.58GHz (7,584.23MHz, to be exact). He then ran Cinebench R23’s multi-core benchmark and scored 56,783 points.
