It's only been a day since the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and 9950X launched and it looks like some have already started pushing these new Zen 5 chips to their limits. They're some of the most powerful processors on the market (if not quite the best CPUs for gaming), so it's no surprise they can clock very high when push comes to shove.
MSI pointed out (via Wccftech) that a world record clock speed has been set for the AMD Ryzen 9000-series. This seems to be referring to overclocker TSAIK's recorded clock speeds of of 7.4 GHz for the 12-core 9900X and 7.44 GHz for the 16-core 9950X, as submitted to overclocking score aggregator site HWBot. For reference, the stock boost clock of both chips is 5.6 GHz, which in turn is over 2 GHz higher than their respective base clocks.
