According to AnandTech , an Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU was overclocked by an elite team of ASUS overclockers to reach an incredible 9.1 GHz, thus setting a new world record. The ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore motherboard served as the foundation for this historic feat, with overclockers Elmor, SkatterBencher, Shaamino, and Safedisk leading the way.
4 records simultaneously set by ASUS overclocking team
Elmor, who joined the ASUS team, pushed the CPU clock to an impressive 9,117.75 MHz, while Safedisk set three more world records in its benchmark tests. Note that this is an official record, unlike the previous unofficial record that also saw an Intel chip reach speeds of up to 9.1 GHz. The CPU's performance was boosted by liquid helium cooling, maintaining a temperature of -231°C and a voltage of 1.85V.
The Intel Core i9-14900KS is a 24-core, 32-thread CPU, split between 8 P cores and 16 E cores like its predecessors, the Core i9-14900K and Core i9-14900KF. However, it's the clock speeds that set the K variant apart, with a base clock of 6.2 GHz that can be boosted, although Intel admits that it doesn't always outperform its rivals in every situation.
Clock frequency recorded by CPU-Z
While AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU has a larger total cache, the Core i9-14900KS stands out with its impressive speed. However, Intel’s processor has a very high power consumption when operating at 150W and peaking at no less than 235W under load, so it’s not the CPU for every configuration. Not only is it very expensive and power hungry, but it also requires more expensive power supplies.
