The Intel Core i9-14900KF has become the first processor to break past the 9.2GHz clock frequency barrier, setting a new world record. Achieved by Chinese overclocker wytiwx, the processor reached 9,206MHz, surpassing the previous record in the HWBOT database.

As noted by Wccftech, the record-breaking entry was achieved using liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling. To maintain stability during the validation, the processor was configured with only seven cores and seven threads enabled. Validation data shows the Core i9-14900KF was running at a core voltage of 1.348V. The test platform used an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard alongside 16GB of DDR5 memory operating at 5792MHz with CL32 timings.

Out of the box, the Intel Core i9-14900KF features a 24-core, 32-thread configuration with eight P-cores and 16 E-cores. It includes 36MB of L3 cache, 32MB of L2 cache, a base TDP of 125W, a maximum turbo power of 253W, and a stock maximum turbo frequency of 6.00GHz.

The HWBOT database shows that only two CPU submissions have broken the 9GHz threshold. The new 9,206MHz submission holds the top spot, followed by a 9,117MHz achievement on an Intel Core i9-14900KS by Elmor. The highest-ranking AMD entry currently sits in seventh place, achieved with an FX-8370 pushed to 8722MHz.

Asus ROG has expanded its display portfolio with three new 27-inch models: the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG Gen2, XG27ACDMS, and XG27AQDMES. These monitors offer users a choice between WOLED and QD-OLED panels, backed by a three-year warranty, and the comprehensive Asus OLED Care Pro suite.

The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG Gen2 is a 240Hz QHD WOLED monitor featuring a TrueBlack Glossy panel. This zero-haze layer and anti-reflective stack are designed to provide the deepest possible black levels and a peak brightness of 1300 nits, earning it VESA DisplayHDR 400 compliance.

For those who favour the QD-OLED sub-pixel structure, the ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDMS pushes the envelope with a 280Hz refresh rate, 10-bit colour depth, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. It also features a USB-C port with 15W power delivery, offering more versatile connectivity for laptop users. Meanwhile, the XG27AQDMES offers a specialised semi-glossy QD-OLED alternative at 240Hz, featuring the same true 10-bit colour depth but with a more conservative peak brightness of 400 nits.

All three monitors integrate the new Neo Proximity sensor, a hardware-level addition to the OLED Care Pro suite that automatically dims the screen when the user steps away, mitigating burn-in risk. Beyond the protection features, Asus has included a suite of AI-driven gameplay enhancements such as Dynamic Shadow Boost and a colour-shifting Dynamic Crosshair. For competitive players, an aspect-ratio control lets the screen switch to a 24.5-inch mode to match tournament standards. These and other settings can be managed directly through the DisplayWidget Center software or via the OSD.
