Overclocker pushes Intel Xeon-W CPU to world record score of 132,484 points in Cinebench R23

Intel's latest release of the 4th generation Xeon-W processors has left the clock multiplier unlocked, enabling overclockers to push the limits of these chips even further. It was only a matter of time before someone attempted to set a new world record in Cinebench R23 with the top-end Xeon-W SKU.

As of March 8th, the Intel Xeon W9-3495X SKU now holds the world record with a score of 132,484 points in Cinebench R23. Overclocker OGS from Greece managed to push all 56 cores and 112 threads of the CPU to a staggering 5.4 GHz clock frequency using a liquid nitrogen cooling setup, along with an ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE motherboard and G-SKILL Zeta R5 RAM kit. Previously, the record was held by AMD's Threadripper Pro 5995WX with 64 cores and 128 threads clocked at 5.4 GHz. However, the Xeon W9-3495X SKU didn't just break the Cinebench R23 record and set a new record in Cinebench R20, Y-Cruncher, 3DMark CPU test, and Geekbench 3.

This achievement showcases the potential of Intel's latest Xeon-W processors and the capabilities of liquid nitrogen cooling setups in pushing the limits of CPU performance. With the clock multiplier unlocked, the possibilities for overclocking enthusiasts are endless.
