At Computex, extreme overclocker SkatterBencher pulled off a shocking feat, shattering the GPU frequency world record, not with a discrete powerhouse like the RTX 5090, or even the RX 9070 XT for that matter, but with an integrated GPU from Intel. That's right! The overclocker pushed the built-in graphics on his Core Ultra 9 285K to an astonishing 4.25 GHz, with the voltage maintained at 1.7V and a freezing temperature of -170 degrees Celsius.
The GPU overclocking database maintained by SkatterBencher is dominated by discrete GPUs like the RTX 4090 and RX 6900 XT, and that's exactly what you would expect. Splave has previously uncovered that Arrow Lake boasts substantial overclocking potential and headroom, even though performance in general tasks is considered middling. In the run-up to these record attempts, SkatterBencher achieved a respectable 3.1 GHz at 1.3V; however, the primary instinct for any enthusiast overclocker is "How fast can I push this thing?" and that's precisely what he did.
