AMD Ryzen 7 2700X gets overclocked to break the 6GHz barrier

That's nothing, the old P4s could do 8GHz on liquid nitrogen! I guess it's impressive that it's a multi-core AMD processor rather than an architecture that clocked well but had little else going for it.

The thing here is they overclocked all the cores at 6Ghz. P4s was single if I recall.

Mostly, although the Pentium D used two Prescott P4 cores: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_D

POWER6 had stock clocks that went up to 5 GHz. I wonder what the most someone has overclocked one of those to is?

Some one managed to put a 486 to 1GHz using liquid nitrogen (Probably I read it wrong)

Isn’t the highest stable just over 10gigz??

No, ~9GHz is the fastest real one I've seen: https://valid.x86.fr/show_oc.php?id=2385966
