AMD’s next-gen Ryzen 7000 flagship will nearly hit the 6GHz mark on its fastest cores with Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) switched on. A leak from Weibo (via: HXL) claims that the Ryzen 9 7950X will have an out-of-the-box boost clock of 5.7GHz with PBO further pushing it to 5.85GHz. This gives it a slim lead over its Raptor Lake-S rival, the Core i9-13900K which is expected to have a peak boost clock of 5.8GHz.
The Ryzen 7000 processors codenamed “Raphael” will leverage the Zen 4 core architecture alongside TSMC’s 5nm process node to offer an IPC upgrade of 8-10% and substantially raised clocks. The CCD (chiplet) is internally known as Durango and the cores are labeled Persephone. Keep in mind that although the next-gen Ryzen CPUs will lag behind their Intel rivals in core count, they should still retain the gaming crown with an advantage in most lightly threaded workloads.
6 GHz 3D Mark with i9-13900KF with AIO 360mm cooler! Also Of course 8P/8T (1.48+Vcore), but still awesome. With my 12900K is possible around 5500 MHz "only" pic.twitter.com/48POGLLkga
Speaking of Raptor Lake, a bunch of overclocked results has already started to pop up across the Chiphell forums. The Core i9-13900KF has been overclocked to 6GHz courtesy of a hefty voltage raise and across eight “P” cores. This chip was able to register stable runs of 3DMark and Dota which speaks volumes. We might very well get a Core i9-13900KS with a peak stock frequency of 6GHz. (Animalmedicalcenterinc)
