Intel’s next-gen flagship overclocks to 6.9 GHz (nice) on liquid nitrogen

Gorgeous: Look up, and appreciate a cooled Rocket Lake processor sending its clocks skywards to a dizzying 6.9 GHz and beyond. In 2 brief clips published to Twitter, overclockers press an octa-core Rocket Lake processor to 6923.56 MHz utilizing liquid nitrogen. They utilize a 113.50 MHz bus speed coupled with a 61x multiplier. The 8 GB of system memory is likewise overclocked to a devilish 6666.66 MHz.

The clips are rather without unique details, however as an advancement, making use of unique cooling on Rocket Lake processors is an interesting one. It might show that a release looms. If that holds true, then Intel’s keynote on Monday, helmed by their executive VP Gregory Bryant, might be the minute.

Intel is most likely to utilize liquid nitrogen as a marketing tactic for Rocket Lake, so this is your pointer to deal with strong efficiency claims with suspicion.

The last time Intel utilized unique cooling for marketing was at Computex 2018. Bryant happily showed a 28-core processor overclocked to 5 GHz. The commercial cooler it needed was, rather actually, concealed under the table. Intel declared it was all a misconception …

With a little luck, Intel will not require such marketing techniques to offer Rocket Lake. It’ll be the very first generation of Intel desktop processors to present a brand-new architecture. That might improve efficiency by ~ 20%. It will likewise present PCIe 4.0 and AVX-512 to the Intel platform.

Stay tuned for Monday, when Bryant takes the phase at virtual CES at 1 pm PST/ 4 pm EST.
