A professional overclocker has set a new record for Intel Core i7-6700K microprocessor frequency. This time the new code-named Skylake processor hit nearly 7GHz, which is among the highest frequencies ever achieved by any Intel Core i-series microprocessors.
Chi-Kui Lam, a professional overclocker from Hong Kong-based HKEPC web-site, has managed to overclock an engineering sample of the Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake-S microprocessor to 6998.88MHz, or by whopping 74.97 per cent compared to its stock frequency. To hit nearly 7GHz, the overclocker had to disable three cores out of four and the Hyper-Threading technology. Voltage of the processor was increased from 1.2V to 1.888V.
