The same idea applies when you move beyond 60hz. Try switching your laptop panel between 30hz and 60hz (which is the default refresh rate on most laptops).In fact, increasing the display refresh rate is one of the best ways to reduce input lag ( citation).Going from 60hz to 90hz reduces the frame reading delay by 31% (16ms -> 11ms).It will be exciting to see whether AMD's upcoming Ryzen CPUs will be able match or even surpass the formidable overclocking performance of the new Intel Core i9-12900K.Overclocking your display to run at a higher refresh rate is safe, easy (as you will see below), and higher refresh rate displays are almost always preferred by people who have used them. That is 27% better than the previous record-holding CPU with 16 cores, which was the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X. In the Geekbench 4 and Geekbench 5 multi-core benchmarks, the Intel Core i9-12900K scored 93,232 and 26,649 points respectively. The previous single-core record set by the Intel Core i9-11900K ( from US$544 on Amazon) was therefore improved by 19%, but the multi-core benchmark results were even better. In Geekbench 4, this configuration achieved a single-core score of 11,669 points, while Geekbench 5 measured an impressive 2,740 points for the Core i9-12900K's single-core performance. The article does not contain any info regarding the temperatures and power consumption during this benchmark, but it seems likely that this is more of an experimental build. Splave utilized a particular version of the ASRock Z690 motherboard, a 1600W EVGA SuperNova PSU and overclocked DDR5 memory. According to an article by Tom's Hardware, Allen "Splave" Golibersuch managed to overclock the Golden Cove performance cores of the i9-12900K to a spectacular 6.8 GHz, while the clock frequency of the more efficient Gracemont cores was increased to 5.3 GHz. Just hours after Intel has officially unveiled the 12th generation of its highly anticipated desktop CPUs, a tinkerer has already put the new Alder Lake flagship processor Core i9-12900K through its paces and was able to set new performance records with an extreme cooling solution and aggressive overclocking.
