AMD Ryzen 9 7950X overclocked to 7.2GHz on single core, 6.5GHz on all cores

The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X may not have reached the hands of consumers, but professional overclockers have already started to play with them. That's according to recent posts on social media, where you can see a CPU running a single core at 7.2GHz and another with all cores clocked at 6.5GHz.

The post's author was no other than TUM_APISAK (1, 2). The first screenshot shows the upcoming flagship processor reaching a 7,247MHz clock speed while running at 1.506V. As for the other, you see a second CPU sample running all cores at 6,500MHz at 1.456V. Both scores were only achieved because the CPU was being cooled using LN2.

Additionally, some professional overclockers have also set new records on multiple benchmarks. Overclocker blueleader (via HotHardware) set the new Cinebench R20 record with the CPU running a 5.35GHz on a Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master, scoring 15,771 points. Moreover, Sampson scored 40,498 points on Cinebench R23 with the CPU clocked at 5.4GHz on an ASRock X670E Taichi, 6,900 points on Cinebench R15 at 5.5GHz on an Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, and 228,992 MIPS on 7-Zip at 5.45GHz on an MSI MEG X670E Ace.

The AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs are coming out in just a few days, on September 27th.

KitGuru says: If the Ryzen 9 7950X can score this high running below 5.5GHz, imagine what they'll be capable of doing at 6.5GHz.
