Intel core i7 gets overclocked

It appears that the i7-9700K is already in the hands of multiple Chinese retail stores, so interesting data is starting to come out regarding this chip based and its overclocking capabilities.
The i7-9700K can reach 5.5 GHz with liquid cooling
The latest leak comes from the CPU.ZOL site, which shows us two screenshots of the Core i7-9700K chip that was benchmarked at Cinebench. To keep the processor cool at a speed of 5.5 GHz, liquid cooling was used and installed on an ASRock Z370 Professional Gaming i7 motherboard.
The Core i7-9700K is one of two 8-core CPUs in the Coffee Lake Refresh (Coffee Lake-S) line. Unlike the Core i9-9900K, the i7 lacks support for HyperThreading, and both come with the IHS soldered on. Intel's strategy with this move is to make its new i9 series more attractive with HyperThreading enabled, although, in a personal opinion, it will make the i7 series less attractive compared to Ryzen (A Ryzen 5 2600X allows 12 threads).
Going back to shared captures, the benchmark used was Cinebench R15, where the new CPU reached 1827 and 250 points in multi-threaded and single-core tests respectively. This places it within the territory of the Ryzen 7 2700X, and 200 points above the Core i7-8700K, which it would basically be replacing. Single-wire performance can be considered a great achievement, plus a Z390 motherboard was not needed to achieve that score.
