Intel at Computex 2018 in Taipei, announced the 8th Gen Core i7-8086K Limited Edition processor. The limited edition of Intel Core i7-8086K celebrates the 40th anniversary of Intel introducing the x86 architecture.
The chipmaker Intel started working on 8086 processor lineup project in May 1976 and it was an attempt to draw attention from the less-delayed 16- and 32-bit processors of other manufacturers. It was announced 40 years back and it was capable of modern personal computing.
Intel Core i7-8086K anniversary edition could deliver up to 5.0 GHz single-core turbo frequency out of the box, but it appears that the YouTuber and overclocker Roman Hartung (Der8auer) has successfully managed to increase the clock speed of the processor to 7.24GHz.
It appears that the Roman used liquid nitrogen to keep the processor chill while running it at such a high frequency, in fact, the overclocked Core i7-8086K was hitting 7.24GHz on all six cores.
“I’m pretty sure we could break the record of seven point three gigahertz which we previously achieved with the 8700K but overall I would say that the 8086 K is basically just a good pretest 8700K and that goes for both liquid nitrogen and also air or water cooling,” YouTuber Roman Hartung (Der8auer) said in his video.
