I'm still waiting for 10ghz ... netburst was supposed to hit that.

 

[Order 66]

I'm still waiting for a 6GHz all-core on a 64-core 128-thread CPU using a casual 10,000W. I would gladly pay $100K for it. /s

 

[Giroro]

Oh cool, only 2 more GHZ to go and we'll finally reach the target spec for the first Crysis.

Just gotta extend the pipeline a bit to 50+ stages and intel should be able to squeeze out that magical 10ghz

"nearly hits 6ghz" is a bit of a stretch...it was 5.5ghz.

i'd say 7-9 is 'nearly"

not 5 and under.

"The highlight is the Core i7-14700K's clock speed, which reportedly reached a maximum frequency of 5.985 GHz during the test"

99.75% of the speed counts as "nearly" for ne

But at what temps/power draw is the real question? As a consumer it's not that impressive if it draws 300w and needs to be built into the side of a glacier to maintain a functional temp.

Like thanks Intel but I'll just wait the extra 30 seconds for my render to finish...

You don't go after high single thread to do renders...it's to make all the other stuff faster that can't use all available cores, and users that do need that will be very glad to get it.
Also they won't mind, even if it does have higher power use, because they don't use 100% of the CPU 100% of the time, so max power draw is completely irrelevant to them.

Sidenote:
You can get 245W out of an 13900k with a $20 cooler...

Core i9-13900K Cooling Guide: Testing Intel's Flagship With Budget Air and Big AIOs

The Core i9-13900K can push even the most capable liquid coolers to their limits, but you don’t lose that much performance if you go with budget-priced air cooling.

www.tomshardware.com

"The $20 Assassin 120 R SE sustained 5055MHz (an increase of 333MHz) with the CPU consuming an average of 245W. This shows some of the improvements Raptor Lake brings over Alder Lake, as the i9-12900K only maintained up to 4900MHz while consuming the same amount of power - and required a hefty liquid cooler to maintain that speed in Cinebench. The score achieved here was 37,555 points, approximately 10,000 points higher than our i9-12900K scored with top-tier cooling. "

I wonder how much frequency the i9 will be

 

[Brian D Smith]

Efficiency is where it's at...not a place to fry your eggs a wee bit quicker.

I have a 35w cpu turbo goes 95w can increase the power to 150w! Reaching 70°c ... these 125w cpu can melt the aluminium heat sink with ease.

 

[Brian D Smith]

A 35w cpu should be run at 35w....probably designed to do that best. Not sure why anyone would want to increase such to 150W.
That said, a 150W cpu is...probably designed to run safely at 150W.

that 35w cpu you can find at 169 dollars at ebay, have 10% lower bench points than the original 13500
at 95w cpu loose some clock at 125w Full all cores at 150w its just to melt and some benchs

and the 35w CPU can clock 400mhz (for emulation it's good)
