Intel officially announced the ninth generation of Intel Core processors, which features the i9-9900K, the flagship of the series with 8 physical cores, for the price of 530 euros.
Intel took the opportunity to present the extreme overclocking features of the launch event. Intel showed how a Core i9-9900K can support up to 1.7V Vcore using liquid nitrogen. This voltage increase made it possible to increase the frequencies up to 6.9 GHz.
The burning high Vcore would make the processor too hot, so the use of liquid nitrogen (LN2) is essential if you want to perform this type of overclocking to break records.
In this way, the overclocker was able to reach 6.9 GHz in all its cores. Splave commented that for some samples it would be possible to reach 7.1 GHz across on all cores. Intel then showed the results obtained with some of the most popular benchmarking tools which, as expected, do not have a linear increase in performance with higher frequency. Nevertheless, it is an impressive performance at the expense of increasing pure voltage and frequencies.
Splave continued that this new ninth-generation Intel processors can now reach about 5.3 GHz with water cooling and a voltage of 1.4V Vcore. Now there is not much left for normal users to check if this is true.
