Mllrkllr88: Core i9 9920X Takes Three Top Spots in Benchmarks

Yesterday, American overclocker mllrkllr88 simultaneously claimed three first-place finishes in the Core i9 9920X model leaderboards, plus an additional top spot in the 12-core processor category.

HWBOT x265 Benchmark - 4K:

He hit 33.224 fps, securing first place for the Core i9 9920X in the 12-core leaderboard at 5799 MHz.

Mllrkllr88 then scored another gold with the Core i9 9920X in the wPrime - 1024m benchmark. The CPU frequency hit a slightly more impressive 5929 MHz:

Unfortunately, this only earned the overclocker second place in the overall 12-core ranking.

The American's latest feat was a first-place finish in the GPUPI for CPU - 1B benchmark for the model leaderboard, plus second place in the global 12-core processor ranking:

The overclocker completed this test with a CPU frequency of 5899.7 MHz.

As with previous runs, the enthusiast didn't disclose his test bench components, so we had to scrutinize the screenshots once again:

To hit these impressive scores, mllrkllr88 deployed a liquid-nitrogen-cooled Core i9 9920X processor, an ASRock X299 OC Formula motherboard, TEAMGROUP XTREEM DARK RAM, and an undisclosed 'placeholder graphics card'.

The 12-core CPU category is currently experiencing a resurgence. Looking at recent results, it's clear that Intel and AMD processors excel in different benchmarks. For instance, Ryzen often shines in rendering tasks, while Core typically performs better with memory operations. However, the landscape shifts slightly with each new firmware update for the AM4 platform's latest revisions. Plus, the next-gen Core i9 10000 CPUs are just around the corner.

In short, we're in for an exciting 'overclocking autumn'.
