Unknown Intel Rocket Lake-S processor overclocked to 6923 MHz under liquid nitrogen
One Twitter user posted a few short videos showing an extreme overclocking attempt using liquid nitrogen from one of Intel’s processors, apparently from Intel’s upcoming Rocket Lake-S family. Unfortunately, it is not known who is the author of the videos, and which processor model is used in the experiment.
Nevertheless, from the available material, several points can be distinguished. First, the chip was overclocked with a Gigabyte motherboard’s participation, very likely based on the Intel Z590 chipset, which is hinted at by the appearance of the BIOS interface of the motherboard.
Secondly, the image of the CPU-Z program gets into the frame. In the processor’s declared instructions, we can note the presence of AVX512F and SHA, which are not available in Comet Lake-S chips. This represents the Rocket Lake-S family is also indicated by the amount of L1 (48KB) and L2 (512KB) cache memory per core.
The video uses an eight-core Intel Rocket Lake-S chip, which has been overclocked to 6923 MHz. The enthusiast also overclocked the RAM to 6666 MHz at 1.83 V.
According to the VideoCardz resource, the author of the above videos may be Intel itself, which has hired some well-known overclocker to advertise the overclocking potential of 11th generation Intel Core chips. Recall that Rocket Lake-S processors will be presented at CES 2021 next week. At the same time, motherboard manufacturers announced new solutions based on the 500-series system logic chips. According to the latest information, the new processors will not be available until March.
