Excerpt from article:

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced that overclockers have used the latest ROG Maximus XII Apex powerhouse motherboard to break a slew of world records and secure a raft of global first place scores. Marking a new performance milestone, overclockers took the Intel Core i9-10900K all the way up to 7.7 GHz frequencies on all 10 of its cores.

Because of the ongoing global situation, ASUS was unable to host its traditional overclocking gathering this year, so instead a smaller session took place at the ASUS headquarters in Taiwan - with local overclockers Jon 'Elmore' Sandström and Pieter 'Massman' Plaisier working alongside internal ASUS experts. Using a liquid-helium setup, the group managed to shatter the Intel Core architecture frequency record, the single-core Geekbench 4 record, and took global first-place positions in 10-core categories for Geekbench 3, Cinebench R15, and wPrime 32M.

That's insane .
I remembered Intel barley hitting 5ghz even with liquid nitrogen a few years ago.
Still the 10ghz promise Intel made back in the day will not happen even with liquid nitrogen.

It's very expensive to do this. According to one professional overclocker, just one canister of liquid helium is over 3000 USD ( this video was 1 1/2 years ago) and you're seeing multiples in use.

A 10 GHz promise? Wow!! OK. Nevertheless, this is a nice plug for Intel, seeing as AMD is some kind of serious competition.

It was a lie that Intel told.
