Silicon Lottery: Roughly 20% of Intel Core i7-10700K achieve a stable 5.1GHz 24/7
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:
- Intel Core i7 10700K @ 4.9GHz Boxed Processor
- Intel Core i7 10700K @ 5.0GHz Boxed Processor
- Intel Core i7 10700K @ 5.1GHz Boxed Processor

68% and 100%
Wonder how many achieve 5.0GHz and 4.9GHz respectively. Most people don't know and the rest don't care about 100MHz but it's nice that enthusiasts have a choice.

20% hitting 5.1 is pretty good considering how high that is, I was hitting 4.5 on my sandy and ivy bridge CPU's when they where relevant and that was amazing then.

I wonder how these numbers compare to the 9900K and 9900KF. Would be interesting to see such metrics, to check how much comet has/hasn't improved compared to last gen, since those overclocked pretty well already.
Maybe rocket lake will make use of this headroom and will implement something equivalent to AMD's PBO? That would be a nice idea, though I guess PL2 already kinda does that.

i would love to find a detailed changeset from gen 9 to 10, but i can't find it.
Once you would read that l1 cache doubled, moved from 8 way associative to 16 way associative and things like that. I have no idea what is changed now.
