Intel’s Core i9 14900KF has set a new world record for CPU frequency after Chinese overclocker wytiwx pushed the chip to a whopping 9,206.34MHz.
The result makes it the first CPU submission to pass the 9.2GHz mark. HWBOT lists the run at 9,206.34MHz on an Intel Core i9 14900KF, with liquid helium cooling.
The record was achieved using an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard and 16GB of DDR5 memory.
The HWBOT listing shows the processor running at 9,206.34MHz on its P cores, while the motherboard used Intel’s Z790 chipset. The listing also names an ASUS ROG Thor 1600W power supply.
Wccftech reported that the chip was operating at 1.348V and had only seven cores and seven threads enabled during the run.
The Core i9 14900KF is a 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh desktop CPU with 24 cores and 32 threads.
It uses eight performance cores and 16 efficiency cores. Intel lists the chip with a maximum turbo frequency of 6GHz, 36MB of Intel Smart Cache, 32MB of L2 cache, 125W processor base power, and 253W maximum turbo power.
The new record follows earlier 9GHz runs using Intel’s 14th Gen desktop chips.
Wccftech reported that only two HWBOT CPU frequency submissions have crossed the 9GHz barrier: the new 9,206MHz Core i9 14900KF result and a 9,117MHz Core i9 14900KS result by Elmor. The report said AMD’s highest listed frequency result, achieved with the FX 8370 at 8,722MHz, has now moved down to seventh place.
The result is an extreme overclocking milestone, not a speed that regular users can expect from the processor.
The chip needed exotic cooling and a heavily tuned test setup to reach the record frequency. Still, the result shows that Intel’s older 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh chips continue to dominate the top end of CPU frequency rankings.
