Taiwanese overclocker Hicookie achieved a new frequency record for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor at Gigabyte's Shanghai product launch event. The chip reached 7313 MHz, which equals 7.31 GHz and surpasses the previous 7.2 GHz barrier. Gigabyte's X870 AORUS Tachyon motherboard enabled this performance milestone through liquid nitrogen cooling systems. The processor operated with disabled SMT technology, running eight cores at 1.631 volts with a 72x multiplier.
Testing under Cinebench 2024 revealed impressive results from the overclocked configuration. The system scored 1733 points in single-core testing while maintaining 6648.8 MHz frequency during the benchmark. Standard Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors with PBO activation typically achieve 1339 points in similar tests. The overclocked version delivered 29.5 percent better performance despite only 25.5 percent higher clock speeds. Future AM5 socket improvements may enable even higher overclocking achievements.
