At the event prior to the launch of Computex 2017, Intel found the opportunity to respond whether it is still possible to squeeze something out of the Kaby Lake processors in terms of extreme overclocking. Recall that the debut of Kaby Lake processors in the performance of LGA 1151 earlier this year was preceded by an event that brought together the world's strongest overclockers, who immediately squeezed out of engineering samples a maximum - including, thanks to the use of liquid helium.
Announcement of Kaby Lake-X processors in the constructive design of LGA 2066 was accompanied by a similar event. Without going into details, we note that the German enthusiast Der8auer with the support of his comrades and sponsors was able to overclock the Core i7-7740X processor to 7563 MHz under liquid helium (minus 269 degrees Celsius), keeping the activity of all four cores and Hyper-Threading!
Asus provided the Rampage VI Apex motherboard based on the Intel X299 logic set, and the available liquid helium stocks that were depleted very quickly due to the physical properties of this substance were enough for several records in traditional disciplines.
So, let's consider the main results of this "race", expressed in the update of absolute world records:
* 4.797 seconds SuperPI 1M with a processor speed of 7407 MHz;
* 8.530 seconds PiFast with a processor frequency of 7407 MHz;
* 4 minutes 9,724 seconds SuperPI 32M with a processor frequency of 7300 MHz.
A number of best results were also shown among the processors with four cores. In total, during the announcement of the Intel X299 platform, 8 world records were updated, and 23 first places in profile categories were employed. Please note that the Core i7-7740X processor in the HWBot database is named Core i7-7740 K , as in the screenshot of the CPU-Z utility. In Intel marketing materials, the last character designation symbol is the "X" character. Related Products :
