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.

If only it was like the X58 Xeon days. $70 X5650 for me in 2014 and I ended up with a 4.6ghz overclock with an H100. Talk about an upgrade from a 4.1ghz i7 950. 8 threads to 12.

56 cores, 112 threads, no surprise. CB23 can utilize up to 256 threads.

64-core Zen 4 will probably grab the record back on air/water
