During his trip, Hartung also had a chance to check out the $6,000 Intel Xeon W9 3495X chip. We've already reported onat stock speeds of 4.2GHz at home, but he was confident then he could push it further in Asus' labs.

"I actually thought that 4.4GHz or 4.5GHz should be totally easy, but that was not the case", says Hartung about the Sapphire Rapids CPU . That said, he did manage to beat 4.7GHz on all 56 cores despite several crashes in Cinebench R23 owing to issues with the input voltage. That translated to around 114,000 points, and really shows what these enthusiast CPUs are capable of when paired with just an AIO watercooler.

With a liquid nitrogen cooling solution, Hartung was able to push the CPU up to 2.5GHz and achieve a smashing 125,000 points in Cinebench R23—a new record, in fact. Red team enthusiasts may be disappointed that they're not going to be able to push their CPU voltages up to those kinds of heights, but at least we can rest assured that BIOS are likely to be updated to stop folk going beyond 1.35V. No one wants to find out they've accidentally fried their monster CPU in a flight of overvolting fancy.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
