Although Intel’s controversial commissioned benchmarks have since been rectified, many are still on the fence about the new flagship Core i9-9900K due to a staggering price tag and noticeable heat when overclocked. This hasn’t stopped the chip taking numerous records though, including an incredible 7.6GHz overclock on all 8 cores.
At the beginning of the month, Intel’s overclocking demonstration during its Fall Desktop Launch of its 9th generation saw the i9-9900K take 16 benchmark records, including a single world record. This included Allen “Splave” Golibersuch and Joe “Steponz” Stepongzi nearly doubling the base 3.6GHz, achieving an impressive 7.1GHz frequency.
