The performance of a CPU is stated not only by its clock speed. It has been well-known for ages but with Intel, it became glaringly obvious with their NetBurst architecture in the first half of the 2000s. But the high frequencies are forever exciting, plus now Ukrainian overclockers named Tin EOF proposed a new world record in the clean CPU clock speed by pushing a Celeron D 347 processor for unprecedented 8199MHz.

The processor is based on the clock friendly Cedar Mill architecture and works of 3.06GHz from the factory. In order to achieve a clock frequency of 8GHz, it took not only extreme cooling methods; Tin EOF was also forced to use extremely high temperatures. Not less than +200 degrees Celsius to succeed in getting away from the CPU Heatspreader.

By the uncovered nucleus could bring down the temperature further, and with the help of 2.096 V could therefore achieve a final velocity of 8199.5 MHz, which was closer to 18MHz higher than the previous record set with a Celeron 356 CPU.
