The radiance of a thousand suns Overclockers set a new world record of 9.1 GHz with a P-core only 14900K
The recent achievement of overclockers hitting 9.1 GHz on the Intel Core i9 14900K is nothing short of astonishing. This milestone illustrates the extreme limits of CPU performance, but it raises questions about practicality. While it showcases incredible technical prowess, most users will never experience such speeds. - The use of liquid helium adds a fascinating element, yet it’s not feasible for everyday setups. - Such overclocking efforts resemble top fuel drag racing, impressive but not necessarily useful. As CPUs approach a power wall, the dream of hitting 10 GHz seems unlikely. For now, this record is a testament to what enthusiasts can achieve, but remains firmly in the realm of the extraordinary.
