The recently launched Intel Raptor Lake central processing unit (CPU) series wasted no time in astounding the overclocking community with its unprecedented performance.
Overclockers opted for the Core i9-14900KF over the i9-14900K, seeking to maximize their overclocking potential. The Core i9-14900KF boasts an impressive 24 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock speed of 3.2 GHz and the capability to reach up to 6 GHz thanks to Thermal Velocity Boost technology. It also features a 36 MB Level 3 cache and a 32 MB Level 2 cache.
This version lacks an integrated graphics processor but supports both DDR5 and DDR4 memory. The CPU demands 125 watts of power, with a peak power consumption of 253 watts. It is priced at $589.
The professional overclocking team composed of SkatterBencher, Elmor, Shamino, and Bing collaborated to break world records using an ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore motherboard and a liquid helium cooling system. They achieved a staggering clock speed of 9043.92 MHz.
These results were recorded on the CPU-Z benchmarking program and await official validation for formal recognition.
Furthermore, another overclocking feat was accomplished with the Core i9-14900KF, reaching an astounding 9.1 GHz clock speed. However, official confirmation is still pending for this achievement to be officially recognized.
