Yesterday marked the official release of Intel’s much-anticipated Core i9-14900KS, and since then, the CPU has smashed numerous records, including being the fastest processor ever.

According to Tom’s Hardware, an Asus team of skilled overclockers managed to drive the Core i9-14900KS, which comes with a powerful 6.2GHz boost, to 9.117GHz, setting a new world record. As you may anticipate, this bump was only obtained on a single core; you cannot acquire 6.2GHz at default rates on all cores.


Using liquid helium as an unconventional cooling method, the team, which included well-known overclockers Elmor, SkatterBencher, and Shamino, had to raise the voltage to an incredible 1.85V in order to achieve the nearly 9.12GHz clock speed.

With the Core i9-14900KS surpassing the Core i9-14900KF (the 14900K without integrated graphics) which previously reached 9.044GHz, the Core i9-14900KS is currently the fastest CPU ever made. (Once more, when enhanced by an Asus overclocking team that includes SkatterBencher).
Furthermore, according to Tom’s Hardware, South Korean overclocker Safedisk used the Core i9-14900KS to break new world records in the PiFast, SuperPI 1M, and PYPrime 32B benchmarks.

Evaluation: PiFaster and PiFast

Safedisk’s PiFast record didn’t last long, though, as Splave, another well-known overclocker who also used the 14900KS, quickly overtook it for second place. It’s interesting to note that Splave employed liquid nitrogen cooling (Safedisk, like the Asus overclocking team, used liquid helium).

The enormous speed record-setting 9.12GHz was only the result of the CPU reaching that frequency and verifying it (in CPU-Z), not of the CPU actually running anything (well, except CPU-Z of course). Take note that these benchmarks records were achieved at an overclock of 8.5GHz.

Remember that during earlier attempts to set clock speed records, the 14900KF did manage to momentarily reach 9.1GHz, but the CPU wasn’t stable, and the system crashed before the overclock could be verified. That’s bad news in theory, and the only reason we’ve seen 9.1GHz being exceeded and operating steadily is with the 14900KS.

However, there’s a good chance that clock speed will be surpassed soon enough because many overclockers will be attempting to squeeze even more performance out of the 14900KS.


The 13900KF, which hit 9.008GHz, was the first CPU to surpass the 9GHz threshold, albeit narrowly.
