Intel's Core i9-9900K is officially out today. Lots of reviews just hit the web and the chip giant proudly announces that overclockers managed to break 16 benchmark records at last week's extreme overclocking demonstration at the Intel Fall Desktop Launch in New York City. Using LN2 cooling, the Core i9-9900K was pushed to 7.1GHz on all cores:
The 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-9900K processor set 16 benchmark records, including a world record, as part of last week's extreme overclocking demonstration at the Intel Fall Desktop Launch in New York City.

Professional overclockers Allen "Splave" Golibersuch and Joe "Steponz" Stepongzi used liquid nitrogen to carefully chill the Intel Core i9-9900K to extremely low temperatures – triple digits below zero – to achieve chip frequencies and performance far greater than off-the-shelf specs. The Intel Core i9-9900K has a stock base frequency of 3.6 GHz, but the professional overclockers achieved nearly double that, reaching 7.1 GHz on all cores. Through the demonstration, Golibersuch and Stepongzi drove the processor to achieve 15 global first-place records in the eight-core category, and to a new world record in the PC Mark 10 against all other processor categories.

Benchmarking results will be officially uploaded to record site HWBOT when the 9th Gen Intel Core processors ship today. HWBOT is a leading platform for competitive overclocking. It hosts a global database of overclocked PC hardware benchmarks from an online community of 100,000.
