keeph8n sets a record for the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X chip model

American overclocker keeph8n has been absent from the HWBot homepage for quite a while. That's understandable; his country is currently facing one of the world's most serious and challenging situations. However, self-isolation can still provide the impetus for processor overclocking experiments.

keeph8n did just that. He acquired a solid sample of the six-core, twelve-thread AMD Ryzen 5 3600X chip and pushed it to 5200 MHz, setting a new record in the HWBOT x265 Benchmark - 4k, albeit only for the specific processor model:

The final score was 16.931 frames per second. It's important to clarify that this is the most demanding version of the benchmark, with the CPU rendering images at 4K resolution.
