The Intel Core i7 9700K working at 5.5GHz in all its cores

It manages to increase the frequency of the Intel Core i7 9700K up to 5.5GHz in a stable way and cool it through a liquid cooling system.

New data regarding the new Intel processors and in this case it has been regarding the Intel Core i7 9700K which will have eight cores and eight threads, being the first Core i7-K in the history of the company that will not have HyperThreading, which sets a very bad precedent. Despite all this processing, it has reached 5.5GHz in all cores with the ASRock Z370 Professional Gaming motherboard, something that is very interesting and that we must take into account.

The Intel Core i7 9700K has reached a frequency of 5.5GHz in all its cores.

To get the core i7 9700K to reach a frequency of 5.5GHz, a liquid cooling system has been used and the processor had an input voltage of 1,536V which is quite high and that it would be impossible to maintain in a 24/7 configuration without destroy silicon.

Regarding the performance in the synthetic benchmark, it has given 250 points in Cinebench R15 in single core and has reached 1827 points in multicore. These are very good results, but even so the Ryzen 7 2700X gives a multicore result of 1778 points. Keep in mind that the Ryzen 7 2700X is eight cores and sixteen threads while the i7 8700K is eight cores and eight threads, so it is not a negligible achievement.

Be that as it may, the 14nm architecture is reaching the limit of its possibilities. Although these processors based on a highly perfected and high-quality lithography, it is quite clear that there is no more margin for the company, they need 10nm like eating but Moore's Law tightens the rope and we are very close to the limit silicon technician.
