Intel has not been unblocked, it has been shown many times at Intel's official events. In a recent official live broadcast, overclocking player Allen Golibersuch aka SPLAVE overclocked Core i9-13900K with liquid nitrogen to 8.2GHz.
Although Intel publicizes that the 12th and 13th generation Core processors use Intel 7 processes, in fact, the 13th generation Raptor Lake process has been improved, so it has a higher default frequency than Alder Lake and the limit frequency that can impact is also higher. The Core i9-13900K used by SPLAVE is the first batch of the highest-end processors in the 13th generation. It has 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores, with a maximum turbo frequency of 5.8GHz. If there is no surprise next year, Intel will also release a Core i9-13900KS, which may be the first processor with a frequency of 6GHz. The motherboard used by
SPLAVE is the Z690 AQUA OC of ASRock . When overclocking, the E-Core was turned off, leaving 8 P-Cores, and hyperthreaded was turned off. It made the single core frequency of the processor reach 82 times, and the frequency reached 8.2GHz, which is 200MHz higher than the previously reported 8GHz record. The frequency of other cores remains at 5.7 to 6.3GHz. At this time, the temperature is -193℃ under the pressure of liquid nitrogen , and the CPU pressurization is 1.824V. The overclocking record of
is much higher than the 7.6GHz of Core i9-12900K, while the Ryzen 9 7950X processor of AMD was only 7.2GHz. Although 8.2GHz is already a very high frequency, the processor with the highest frequency is still 8.7GHz of AMD's FX-8370.
