CPU frequency world records continue to be set, but not by Intel's new Core 200S processors. A Chinese user, "wytiwx", has pushed the Intel i9-14900KF past 9.12 GHz, officially seizing the crown from Elmor. Fun fact: HWBot's data shows that, to date, Elmor has been the only person to breach the 9 GHz territory, but not anymore.

The test bench that enabled this feat is powered by the i9-14900KF with all E-cores disabled and hyperthreading turned off. The setup was paired with the Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex and 16GB of DDR5 memory. The overclocker opted for the Windows 7 (6.1) Operating System which is surely an interesting choice.
