Core i9 13900K beats AMD FX 8370
Interestingly enough, it took 8 years for the latest processor architecture to dethrone AMD’s FX series processors. While AMD’s FX processors were considered mediocre in both performance and power consumption, these CPU chips combined with liquid nitrogen offered incredible overclocking potential. The old world record held by the FX 8370 was 8.722 GHz at minus 186 degrees. This value was achieved by overclocking master The Stilt.
The Core i9 13900K was able to reach clock speeds of a surprising 8.812 GHz when overclocked using liquid nitrogen, again. It seems that these records may continue. Because when it comes to higher quality silicones and those interested in overclocking get used to the behavior of the architecture, this value can easily be exceeded.
