EXTRAS
Geekbench record 5 at 4.2 GHz on its 56 Cores
It has been quite a surprise of course. Few bet on the new Intel Xeon for server and HEDT, but what has been done with the W9-3495X It is undoubtedly meritorious if we take into account that he has managed to beat the record of Geekbench 5 without resorting to extreme refrigeration. In addition, the conditions were not the best, far from it, since everything was caught with pins and even so it has been enough for him to overcome his current rival, the Threadripper Pro 5995WX.
It is true that its rival in AMD boasts the Zen 3 architecture and that the new Ryzen Pro 7000 should crush what has been done here today, but it is also true that the record is official, it is there and it will undoubtedly be surpassed in a short time. , because the ways to achieve it have been somewhat precarious.
Intel Xeon W9-3495X, a beast that has dethroned the king, snatching two records
Although the most interesting is that of Geekbench 5, the Cinebench R23 record has also fallen and even that of the already outdated Geekbench 3, but let’s go by parts to start. the overclocker der8auer Being at the Intel headquarters in the US, he was able to get his hands on one of the brand’s test equipment registered as RVP on a motherboard with chipset W790 with a 8 phase only VRM.
Conditions weren’t the best, but with Intel XTU and a simple 360mm AIO achieved something really amazing for a test platform: 4.2 GHz in its 56 Cores. The voltage was only 1 volt, but the consumption was Esports Extrasntic. Specifically, at rest it did not go below 300 watts and in full it registered more than 1000 watts of consumption, specifically, 1,097 watts.
We understand that in the area of the IHS and the AIO the temperatures were under control, but this also allowed him to get a Score in Geekbench 5 of 1,600 points in Single Core and 53,817 points in Multi Core, beating by no less than a 12% the previous record of the 64-core Threadripper Pro 5995WX.
Best of all, it claims that with proper cooling and without being extreme, like the RL Custom, it could reach 4.6 GHz, far exceeding the numbers we’ve seen.
What can you do under LN2?

Well, we have to go to South Korea, where the overclocker SAFEDISK took a unit of W9-3495X to nothing less than 5.22 GHz under liquid nitrogenallowing it to break the record for Cinebench R23 and Geekbench 3 at the same time.
with a plate ASUS PRO WS W790E-SAGE SE and 128 GB of RAM at 6,333 MHz achievement 128,391 points in R23 MT and 378,078 points in GB3exceeding 121,215 points and 302,214 points who had up to now 5995WX at 5.4GHz with LN2.
In this case and with SAFEDISK hitting the ceiling with this CPU, it can be said that when the new Threadripper Pro 7000 these logs should drop smoothly without overclocking. But… There is a rather unfounded rumor that AMD is going to delay them once again, where the excuse this time seems to be the poor market demand that is expected for 2023.
