Intel Core i9-13900K Breaks Overclocking World Record at 8.8 GHz

[chaoshusky]

The FX was great in overclock. Years later from that record I won't be surprised to see someone try a new record with them, just to get the crown back.
I validated 5.0 GHz on air with an FX 8320E, but the ST score was weak compared to the good Intels of the same years (301/2009 pts with cpuz 1.98).
But was a cool and fast cpu, super easy to overclock: it served me well for many years. Overclocked via bios before meeting Windows for the first time, like should be for every cpu!

Eww.

Seriously though, the FX CPUs as well as the first Ryzen was awful.. Even at 8.7GHz they will still be beaten by Intel CPUs on air cooling lol

For comparison, my old i7 8086K could do 5.4GHz on an AIO at an amazing 1.32vcore (basically i got a golden sample chip..) yet even at 5GHz, whilst obviously a few years newer..was around 630/4400 or something close, i'll have to look it up later. Older CPUs at that clock though (Intel) would still be faster.. Hell, my old Xeon X5670 machine was faster than your FX was at 5GHz at just 4.4GHz.. Actually my ooold i7 920 @ 4..2GHz kept up

Did I say something different? Single core performance was weak. I got my scores saved in my cpuz account, so I can make comparisons.
The FX 8320E @4.9 got 295 pts in cpuz single core. The i7-2700K @4.9 got 485 pts.
But I paid the FX 130€ new and was an unlocked cpu. The 2700K was a 500$ msrp cpu, the X5670 a 1500$ msrp cpu, my current i7-5960X a 1000$ msrp cpu.
I sold the FX early this year and until then was perfectly fine @1080p with a RX 480, obviously dialing back some settings in the most demanding games.
In everyday usage was like my i7-5960X, slightly slower opening some programs (like 3DS Max). But the 5960X has 500 pts in single core cpuz @4.5Ghz, the 8320E @4.5 has 272 pts. Consider that nowadays both Windows and the programs that run in it are well optimized for multicore cpus, so the FX performs better than years ago in lot of tasks, even gaming. Despite the IPC flaw they did their job well.
Anyway, in my previous comment I was praising the overclock capabilities of these chips, that turned out to be great.
