Intel Ivy Bridge Processor Overclocked To 7GHz

Intel has a new king in terms of overclocking; apparently the new “Ivy Bridge” Core i7-3770k managed to hit an astounding 7 Ghz. This was achieved using 1.889 Volts on a 63x multiplier at 112.11 MHz on the bus for a 7.06 Ghz overclock using dry ice. While the Ivy Bridge Core processors might end up a bit late, their performance and overclocking looks solid, and with prices shaping up to be similar to current Sandy Bridge CPUs the future looks promising for enthusiasts.
