Intel's Core i9-14900KF has set a new all-time CPU frequency world record at 9.206 GHz.
The record was achieved by Chinese extreme overclocker wytiwx and validated on HWBOT.
The run used liquid helium cooling on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard, with only the performance cores active during the single-core validation in CPU-Z.
This breaks the previous record of approximately 9.13 GHz on the same processor family and marks the first time any CPU has officially crossed the 9.2 GHz mark.
For context, the chipโs stock maximum turbo frequency is around 6 GHz.
