Yesterday, Intel's Raptor Lake CPUs finally made their official debut in the market. By updating the architecture of the past generation models, the 13th generation Core processors are able to offer substantially better performance than in the past, thanks to an increase in IPC, cache and a now much higher operating frequency on all cores : Core i9-13900K is now able to push up to 5.8 GHz, pulling out the maximum during the most demanding workloads, albeit at the price of a not indifferent power consumption.
Beyond to this, the new top of the range seems to lend itself particularly well to overclocking. After an overclocker was able to hit the 8GHz threshold, the Core i9-13900K has now managed to break the world record for the highest frequency, previously held (since 2013) by the AMD FX-8370 with 8.79GHz. The venture belongs to Elmo and Shamino, members of the ASUS overclocker team, who made use of a ROG Maximus Z790 APEX motherboard to hit 8.81GHz frequency across all 8 P-cores, naturally using high-performance cooling. liquid nitrogen.
