AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Overclocked To 6.3 GHz

AMD recently introduced a new line of Ryzen 5000 processors based on the new Zen 3 architecture, and overclockers are already boasting new advances. The world record was set by the Ryzen 9 5950X and is owned by HiCookie.

The enthusiast managed to overclock the new chip to an impressive 6.362 GHz on all sixteen cores. Liquid nitrogen was used as cooling, and Gigabyte X570 Aorus Maste was used as a motherboard.

If we talk about tests, then in Cinebench R20 the processor managed to score 15517 points. Employees of the information portal Tomshardware decided to test the chip without overclocking, and at the stock frequencies the Ryzen 9 5950X scored 10,522 points. In AMD PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) mode, the chip managed to score 11 644 points.

But the first place in overclocking belongs not to the processor from AMD, but to the chip from Intel with the i9-10900K, which managed to reach 7.7 GHz.
