Core i7 9700K Overclocked to 5.30 GHz On Air Cooling (all cores)
You know that 8 cores / 8 threaded Core i7 9700K we mentioned yesterday? Well, it has been overclocked, and the fun news is that a mere simple looking heat pipe cooler was used to do so. The photos are a bit blurry but do tell a tale.
So basically this was posted at Expreview and an unknown guy (at least to us) was able to test the part, as mentioned on air-cooling. that 5300 Mhz he achieved was on all cores, and on-air that is something impressive alright. Like I stated, the photos are horrible as they are grabs from a 10-second video, but the key details can be seen, the model Core i7-9700K, it is an ES version of the CPU with a P0 stepping, 8 core 8 threads, 12MB L3 cache, 3.6GHz base frequency.
In the 10 seconds of video, you can see that he overclocked to 5.3GHz. It is 1.215V, close to the default voltage of Core i7-8700K. previous leaks already mentioned a possible 5500 MHz on liquid cooling. These are of course ES aka 'magic' vanilla samples, spread toa few overclockers by Intel to create a bit of viral activity.
Have a peek.

The 'key detail' is the temperature which is missing.
But that 1.215V is impressive.

such is the life of a chinese factory worker.
That feeling when you are supposed to take for real information from someone who can get hands on newest and greatest unreleased CPU, but can't afford 10 years old phone to take acceptable photo.

don't think is 100% stable under full test load. might be need more vcore for that freq. no HT means higher clock though

Against all odds, can it be this is the next Sandy Bridge? One can only hope.

It needs to be that fast because it needs to beat Spectre fixes also, not just last year's model's benchmarks.
I don't know about Intel, somehow I can't bring myself to be enthusiastic about their product when I think about how they treated the whole Spectre issue in the first place. I don't fancy installing patches manually on a monthly basis for premium price hardware.

It could be you know
Problem is, does ES mean Extra Special i.e. Cherry picked (and not Engineering Sample) and the price.....

I remember when they hit 100MHz the first time. My mind was blown. "Wow, these things need cooling? Wtf? This is really next gen."
No, sorry, correction: "This is really rad." We used "rad" back then.

All your hardware was hopelessly obsoleted every 2 years. Including consoles. Good times. :p
