Under liquid nitrogen, overclocker Allen 'Splave' Golibersuch has overclocked the Core i9-13900K processor to 8.2 GHz. Intel's Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) technology provides a maximum turbo boost clock of 5.8 GHz for the processor.

The Raptor Lake flagship chip, which will vie for a spot on the list of best CPUs, will be available for $589 on October 20. The Core i9-13900K has eight P-cores and sixteen E-cores, for a total of 24 cores. Intel's Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) technology provides a maximum turbo boost clock of 5.8 GHz for the processor. Splave accelerated the Core i9-13900K to 8.2 GHz, a 41% improvement over Intel's specifications. The Core i9-13900K has overclocking potential, whereas the Core i9-12900K could only reach 7.6 GHz. The Core i9-13900K therefore broke the Core i9-12900record K's by 8%. While the Core i9-13900K is impressive under LN2, it will soon be seen whether it can outperform the Ryzen 9 7950X when Raptor Lake comes on October 20.
