Intel Core i9-13900K overclock reaches 8.2GHz
Although Intel’s 13th-generation Core processor has not been lifted, it has appeared many times at Intel’s official events. In a recent official live broadcast, overclocker Allen Golibersuch aka SPLAVE overclocked the Core i9-13900K with liquid nitrogen to 8.2GHz.

Although Intel advertises that the 12th and 13th generation Core processors use Intel 7 technology, in fact, the 13th generation Raptor Lake process is improved, so it has a higher default frequency than Alder Lake, and the limit frequency that can be impacted is also higher. The Core i9-13900K used by SPLAVE is the first highest-end processor of the 13th generation. It has 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.8GHz. If there are no surprises next year, Intel will also release a Core i9-13900KS, which may be the first processor with a frequency of 6GHz.

The motherboard used by SPLAVE is ASRock’s Z690 AQUA OC. When overclocking, he turned off all E-Cores, leaving 8 P-Cores, and turned off hyper-threading. He made the single-core frequency of the processor reach 8.2GHz which is 200MHz higher than the previously reported 8GHz record, and the other cores are kept at 5.7 to 6.3GHz.
