What just happened? We've just moved a step toward the 10 GHz CPU milestone that Intel said would be here by the year 2005, though it's a very tiny step and required the usual exotic cooling.
Chilly. If you're wondering, the fastest ever AMD CPU is the Bulldozer-based AMD FX 8370, which hit 8.7228 GHz over 10 years ago. It's also interesting to note how the top frequency achieved with ...
Nonetheless, 25 years ago, Intel said we'd have 10 GHz CPUs by 2005... Frequency isn't the be-all and end-all of CPU performance but that same 10 GHz barrier will be the next major milestone for ...
For most of 2022, we recommended the Core i5 12600K as the best gaming CPU and the Core i5 12400 as the best gaming CPU on a budget. Last year, the Core i5 13600K took over the top spot.
