We mentioned Silicon lottery quite a few times already if you are interested in purchasing a processor can guaranteed to reach a certain overclocking frequency, you can purchase them binned. Comet Lake has been added to the Silicon lottery lineup and reveals some interesting facts.

Silicon Lottery, dedicated to selling binned and pre-tested/validated tweaked processors, launched their first Core i7-10700K in versions that reach 4.9GHz, 5.0GHz and 5.1GHz on all-core overclocks. Along with each product, it has been shared what the percentage of chips reaches that binned frequency..

According to these statistics, 20% of the chips reach 5.1GHz with 1.4V in BIOS (1.32V), 68% reach 5.0GHz with 1.375V in BIOS (1.3V), and 100% reach 4.9GHz with 1.35V in bios (1.28V). They all hit an extra 100MHz when using only 4 cores.

Speaking generally this means that 5.0GHz on 8 cores and 5.1GHz in 4 cores hits 68% of the processors available. This also means that 20% of the processors can reach 5.1GHz in its 8 cores and 5.2GHz in 4 cores.

The particular details about the testing methodology and the different adjustments can be found on the official Silicon Lottery site by clicking on the product pages, whose links can be found below:

Llc back in haswell days didnt affect cpuv but cpu input voltage, I think it hasn't changed since.

haswell/broad uses fivr (fully integrated voltage regulation), with skylake desktop they went back to the old voltage regulation, presumably for thermal reasons. intel server chips still used fivr as far as i know

My 9900K won't even hit 5Ghz stable with an H100i cooler 24/7. Kinda sad.

I must have missed where SL provides what test(s) is/are considered 'a rigorous stress test routine'.

Seriously, provide verified empirical data.
