American Overclocking Expert Sets New World Record

TapTechNews May 18th, the American overclocking expert Allen 'Splave' Golibersuch recently used the Core i9-11900K processor to set a new world record in PyPrime32B, surpassing the previous record holder Core i9-14900KS.

TapTechNews note: PYPrime is an open-source memory benchmark based on Python, which can scale with processor and memory overclocking. Different from other memory benchmarks that focus more on bandwidth, PYPrime focuses more on latency.

Splave broke the record previously set by the Korean overclocking player safedisk. He not only used an older CPU - Core i9-11900K, but also had a lower clock frequency.

Splave's Core i9-11900K operates at a frequency of 6957.82 MHz, while safedisk's Core i9-14900KS is overclocked to 8374.91 MHz.

Splave adjusted the timing to 12-11-11-181T, and the timing is very tight due to the Samsung B-die IC in the G.Skill Trident Z DDR4-3466C16 memory kit.

In contrast, safedisk uses DDR5-9305, and the timing configuration is 32-47-42-342T. If we calculate, Splave's memory latency is 6.133 ns, which is 11% lower than safedisk's 6.878 ns.
