Intel Core i9-9900K Overclocked To 6.9GHZ On All Eight Cores

Oh Intel and its PR. Here is the playbook.

1) Around 2 months out announce the CPU's are coming but give no oficial pricing.
2) Run some unofficial overclocked testing and let the results post into a testing suites database without providing any OC'ed details.
3) Get some review site to early post test results showing a much larger than expected performance increase over your competitor. Make sure its a 3rd party so it's not false advertising.
4) Give the CPU's to some overclockers to see what they can do with them then. Then tell everyone about the high clocks they hit on liquid nitrogen. (Not trying to diminish overclockers, but the timing Intel does this with each release.)
5) Place the CPU's on sale the same day as reviews to reap pent up demand from prior steps.

LMAO, you just said EXACTLY what AMD did with the Ryzen launch.

I wasn't inferring AMD wasn't guilty of this either. I don't care about choosing sides with multi billion dollar corporations they all do dumb stuff for greed. AMD just stole this from Intels playbook is all, as Intel has done this a few times now.

You were right. Past tense. Then out comes the Intel commissioned benchmark debacle with Principled Fiasco Technologies.

Cool OC, props to the overclocker. Just doesn't seem like that big of a deal because extreme overclockers have been pushing these levels of OC for years now with LN2.
