Intel's latest baby, the Core i9-11900K breaks the 7 GHz mark in overclocking. The operation required solid cooling.
The information was found in the Valide X86 database. Intel's next “showcase” processor, the Core i9-11900K, has accepted a frequency of over 7 GHz in OC. This impressive frequency was made possible with the use of a voltage of 1.873 V. There is no doubt that the system was cooled by LN2. Clearly, we are facing extreme overclocking requiring solid knowledge and appropriate equipment.

The chip is probably a particularly docile OC sample offered by Intel. The publication of independent tests around this new generation Core is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, March 30, 2021.
This Core i9-11900k is an eight-core chip equipped with Hyper-Threading, i.e. 16 logical cores. Under the hood, we find 16 MB of cache and a memory controller natively supporting DDR4 at 3200 MHz. The graphics part is entrusted to a UHD Graphics 750 iGPU (Intel Xe graphics architecture). Its base frequency is 3.5 GHz while providing 5.3 GHz in Thermal Velocity Boost mode on one core and 4.8 GHz on 8 cores. Turbo mode is calibrated at 4.7 on all cores.
