Intel Core i7 9700K Spotted Overclocked on Z370 to 5.5 GHz
Somewhere in Asia engineering samples of the pending Intel Core i 9000 series processors have surfaced. Someone grabbed a Core i7 9700K somehow and placed it into a Z370 motherboard with the latest BIOS. As it seems, it was overclocked towards 5500 MHz.
It is expected that three new Intel processors in the 9000 series launch October 1st, the Core i9 9900K and i7 9700K. Intel's soon the be most high-end desktop processor the Core i9-9900K is the same 8-core part, yet now with HyperThreading enabled (16-threads). This processor has some interesting stuff, it can do 5.0 GHz on a single and dual-core turbo frequency. Also really interesting, it'll do a boost up to 4.7 GHz on all cores.
The Core i7 9700K is an eight-core and eight-thread processor (that's right no Hyperthreading) with a boost up to 4.9 GHz on one single-core. However, it can turbo at 4.6 GHz maximum on all cores. The Core i5 9600K is the 6 core 6 threaded part (no Hyper threading either) running 3.7 and 4.6 base /turbo frequencies.
As it seems, it was overclocked towards 5500 MHz based on just water-cooling, which is impressive. The scores then, in Cinebench R15 the new CPU reached 1827 and 250 points in multi- and single-threaded tests respectively (that is the overclocked cores). This places the proc in Ryzen 7 1800X / 2700X territory.

Impressive, but what's the street price gonna be?
(out of my range for certain)

Be great if they can do those clocks on Normal cooling, though I'm skeptical about that. I Imagine the price will be in excess of £500 as they'll for sure clock higher than 8 core Skylake X parts thus outperforming them, so they're unlikely to cheaper than a 7820X. My guess is 549.99 in UK at best

good score, though it looks like the voltage could be past 1.5v , not exactly "safe" volts
.
Forget safe, it's not even realistic if it's at all comparable to past Intel CPUs.
If it is, how many people are going to have the cooling to maintain that voltage 24/7 without the CPU rapidly degrading and becoming unstable? Hell, even the cooling wouldn't matter much at 1.5V as far as degradation goes; exposed to that much voltage over a long period of time will cause noticeably accelerated degradation.

+1.5Volt o_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_O Sorry my bad
the punctuation is also nothing special ... I suspect it does the same score as the 8700k with the same OC.

It not impossible that intel could produce a variant of 14nm that could handle higher voltages, though i would agree it is highly unlikely, i wouldn't be surprised if the 5.5ghz run was under a chilled water loop, the heat density will be really bad on a such a small chip.

I suppose that's a good thing for the vast majority of games, but it will come at a "premium" price...

And ?
There is no hyperthreding plus it is overpriced.
I just wait for zen 2

If I had this proc or the 9900K, or any of the new Ryzen CPUs, I would be hard pressed to even bother trying to overclock it. It just seems to me as both AMD and Intel pushed to get as much juice as possible with factory clocks, that the exponential heat and power required for the little OC room that's left, is simply not worth it anymore.

This looks wrong, only a single digit faster then a stock 2700X, I hope the memory is running at a low speed or it is thermal throttling or something, because this does not look good.

Owwww... they just forgot to tell what Chill or LN2 was used... and more... how many cores was at 5.5GHZ...
Its ridiculus how Intel try (and can) to deceive their fanboys....

Neo Cyrus, i'm running my CPU at 1.4V since 2013, rendering every day with a very standard heatpipe cooler, no degradation on here.. do you think 1.5 could be that different? just asking

Intel just trolling they need to show how good dat new cpus are but they will be just the same as the older ones.
They add 2 more cores and better memory support

Yup, 1.4v should be fine, I believe up to 1.425 is about max, whereas 1.5v let alone the 1.53v this chip is running at will eat away the guts of a chip leading to degraded performance and eventual chip death (all too soon at those voltages)
EDIT:
bear in mind some motherboards put out more vcore than they indicate especially when selecting much of a v droop type setting, Gigabyte are especially known for this... leaving you feeling good while the chip fries :s
