Threadripper 3970X 32-core reaches 5.72 GHz and breaks several world records
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X is simply the best high-end desktop processor you can get right now. The chip contains 32 cores, 64 threads, and clock speeds of up to 4.5 GHz, all in a 280W TDP package. The processor has 144 MB of cache and 88 PCIe Gen 4 tracks.
A day after launch, the chip has already accomplished some impressive feats, including various world records and global ranks on HwBot. Starting with the achievements, first we have the fastest OC frequency for the chip reported at 5, 752 GHz across the 32 cores and 64 threads. This impressive feat was accomplished by Taiwan's legendary TSAIK overclocker, who pushed the chip to the aforementioned OC frequency using LN2 cooling on an MSI TRX40 Creator motherboard using a 1.1V voltage supply.
