Intel Ivy Bridge CPU Overclocked to 7 GHz, Core i7-3770K Jumps 100%




It was just a few days ago that we wrote about the Intel Core i7-3820 getting overclocked to 5.666 GHz and, now, we are looking at something farther off and much more powerful. 

The news of an Intel Ivy Bridge central processing unit being overclocked 100% is a bittersweet pill to swallow at the moment. 

After all, with the CPU launch delay to June confirmed, hearing about how great the chips can be will only make the wait harder. 

Long story short, the 3.5 GHz Core i7-3770K was pushed all the way up to 7.063 GHz, reports say

That is 100% overclocking and, since the nature of the cooling system was not disclosed, it is possible that Ivy Bridge can go even higher. 

The current overclocking record is 8.58GHz, achieved by the AMD FX-8150. AMD gets to brag about that much at least, since its FX series hasn't proven to be very competitive in most other situations.
