Nice clock, but its already been beaten π
BLEH!
This is a retail sample, though.

Haa! π Nitro LN2 cooler??

From my point of view this "OC olympics" is nothing more than ridiculous for most of us entusiast end users with at least a bit of healty brain cells. CPU-Z picture above shows only 2 active cores and HT is off. Even here and here is the same. Soon I'm expection someone to break 8.5GHz record with i7-4770K and only one active core without HT. What's the point of this, even my 12 y.o. kid knows this OC record is useless for everyday use + there is L2N cooling involved, something that can be used propperly even for few hours. This CPU OC record breaking war between motherboard manufacturers is like kids fighting among themselfs using words like: "...my dad is stronger than yours!...". Ridiculous, nothing more than ridiculous...
Edit: Did someone noticed 0.815V? No way man, no way...
BLEH!
AMD chips are running 8 GHz fully enabled...

Will you guys just get a grip
Why would he use all cores for cpuz?and jeez ricardo how else would he get that type of speed without -100c or even less?
This is pro clockers with world record speeds ok(this was record now its 7.084)i
its not a street car but all out dragster.
Give props.. not bash becuase you could never get these speeds even if you had all the same tools as him.
Not really into 2d benches but its a feat of awesomeness anyway you look at it.

We are all aware what is the real purpose behind those CPU OC records breaking and in most of them real reason is just a prestige war between motherboard manufacturers, something that only extreme fans of only one MB brand can take "seriously" and then hit their chests with fists like a male gorilla when they see that their favorite MB brand manufacturer owns a CPU OC world record.
Also most of us are aware how this extreme overclock works, at least for short tracks, personaly I know MSI chairman for this part of Europe where I'm settled and he confirmed years ago how it works: find some entusiast capable enough with unlimited amount of free time, give him resources like curently best OC capable motherboard with unlocked special motherboard Beta BIOS with insane OC possibilities, if you can get him ingineering sample of CPU, give him enough L2N and a number of GHz you want to see at the and. If he achieve your goal give him money and keep him for future OC records breaking.
It's not something new, every respectable MB manufacturer (and graphic card manufactures) does this and it is a must for him in trying to stay at the top and to keep "on the fire" hard-core fans of his brand.
Don't get me wrong, I do respect people who can achieve OC records like this but at some point that OC war become pointless. Imagine some respectable car engine manufacturer who builds V8 car engine and then push it to extremes, some 30.000rpm, with only half of engine active waving to it's fans: "...look, only 4 pistons are working, we had to cool it with 5 tons of ice, but you can hear that 30.000rpm roar, it's amazing! Hands up people, I want to hear who is the best?!...". fans : YOU ARE! lol
Now give us something usefull, at least 4 cores active without HT on.

But will it play crysis? It will? I'll be quiet then.

I bet even LN2 wasn't enough for that uber-toasty 4770K! Maybe LHe (Liquid helium)?? :P
Probably even that was barely enough! lol! π

Yeah, good luck with having a stable system 24/7 with that clock.
I always laugh at these kind of "records".
This is like making a size 12 shoes for someone who has size 10....pretty pointless.

We know its for the one upmanship its a business they want market share and who dont want some publicity.
But dont take away the achievment
I mean think about it they had to use a Msi motherboard lol j/k

Well, to be fair, this isn't really a competition for best multi-threading performance. If it is they would be using something like the i7 3970X or server CPUs (or even the incredible IBM supercomputer CPUs). However, I agree that this kind of competition isn't very important. I'd rather see competitions for the max FLOPS people can get overclocking.

nice OC but what was need to keep it from frying the chicken and the egg
