The current highest clock speed achieved for this CPU is 8516.17MHz which was set back in 2013. So, how was achieving this 8.36GHz possible? – Well, in addition to having some pretty decent hardware (again, by the standards of the time), it goes without saying that a little liquid nitrogen was also involved.ĭespite this insanely impressive recorded score, it may surprise you to learn (because it certainly did me) that this isn’t the actual overall world record for the Intel Celeron D 347. Something of a huge ‘last hurrah’ for the single-core era of CPU design. It shouldn’t be ignored, however, that when it did originally hit the market back in circa 2006, it represented (at the time) one of the best (overall) gaming processors available on the market. With the single-core Celeron D 347 coming with a base clock speed of 3.06GHz, achieving 8.36GHz is clearly a pretty obscenely high figure. Utilizing a 14-year-old Intel Celeron D 347 CPU, he has successfully managed to get a stable overclock at 8.36GHz! Intel Celeron D 347 Overclocked to 8.36GHz Secondly though, and on a far more practical remit, if something goes wrong, which is always possible in the realms of extreme overclocking, it’s far more preferable to destroy something only worth $30-$50 than something closer to $400-$500.įollowing a report on HWBOT, however, one Chinese overclocker ‘ IVANQU0208‘ has achieved something quite remarkable. There are, of course, two pretty good reasons as to why they choose this particular avenue.įirstly, it’s the rather fundamental aspect of just seeing if it can be done. It’s well known that there is a very devoted section of the overclocking community that prefers to concentrate their efforts on squeezing as much performance as possible out of older technology than new.
