Intel’s long-rumored Core i9-14900KS in the end went on sale the previous day and already the CPU has damaged information, together with turning into the quickest ever processor.
Tom’s {Hardware} stories {that a} crew of professional overclockers at Asus took the Core i9-14900KS – which runs at a mighty 6.2GHz spice up proper out of the field – and driven it to 9.117GHz to set a brand new international velocity checklist. (Notice that this was once the spice up accomplished on a unmarried core, as you may be expecting – you received’t get 6.2GHz at default speeds on all cores, both).
The crew – which produced from well known overclockers Elmor, SkatterBencher, and Shamino – used unique cooling (liquid Helium) and needed to crank the voltage to an enormous 1.85V to get that virtually 9.12GHz clock velocity.
This implies the Core i9-14900KS is now the quickest ever CPU, beating out the Core i9-14900KF (the vanilla 14900K with out built-in graphics) which hit 9.044GHz in the past. (Once more, when ramped up through a crew of Asus overclockers together with SkatterBencher).
On best of that, Safedisk, a South Korean overclocker, used the Core i9-14900KS to set new international information within the PiFast, SuperPI 1M, and PYPrime 32B benchmarks, Tom’s {Hardware} observes.
Research: PiFast and PiFaster
Safedisk’s PiFast checklist didn’t stand for lengthy, thoughts you, because it’s already been knocked all the way down to 2d position through every other high-profile overclocker, Splave, additionally the usage of the 14900KS. Apparently, Splave used Liquid Nitrogen cooling (Liquid Helium was once utilized by Safedisk, the similar because the Asus overclocking crew).
Notice that those benchmarking information had been set at an overclock of 8.5GHz – the massive velocity record-setting 9.12GHz was once only a topic of getting the CPU get to that clock and test it (in CPU-Z), no longer in reality operating anything else (smartly, aside from CPU-Z after all).
For those who recall, the 14900KF did set up to in short hit 9.1GHz in earlier clock velocity checklist makes an attempt, however the processor wasn’t strong and the machine locked up prior to the overclock may well be validated. So technically, that’s no excellent, and it’s simplest with the 14900KS that we’ve now witnessed 9.1GHz being exceeded and operating in a strong type.
In all probability that clock velocity can be overwhelmed quickly sufficient, thoughts, as there can be no scarcity of overclockers making an attempt their hand to get much more efficiency mileage out of the 14900KS.
The 13900KF was once the primary CPU to damage the 9GHz barrier, even if simply by a hair when it reached 9.008GHz.
