Intel’s Core i9-13900HK laptop processor has been overclocked to an impressive 5.8 GHz frequency speed using the unreleased ROC “Real-Time Overclocking” software.
Unreleased Intel ROC “Real-Time Overclocking” software used to OC a 5.8 GHz Core i9-13900HK processor on all cores
YouTuber and tech enthusiast Der8auer recently visited Intel’s OC-Lab to check out the latest prototypes and processors currently in development by Team Blue. In the video, he showcases some of the technology going into Coming Soon and learns about a “benchmark platform” that the company uses to test various aspects of its chips. One such application the company uses is real-time overclocking, or ROC, which Intel uses privately and hasn’t made public yet.
Intel ROC is part of a proprietary software suite that the company uses to test various variables that control the processor, allowing the company to monitor the processor and make changes simultaneously and in real time.
Intel ROC is also much easier to navigate and use than the public Intel eXtreme Tuning Utility, or XTU, which is publicly available and is considered the official overclocking software that can be used with Intel overclocking processors. ‘business. Intel ROC works differently because it controls single cores with a single click, allowing the company’s engineers to efficiently overclock each test CPU with little downtime. Intel ROC software can adjust aspects, such as the speed of specific cores, regardless of architecture style, including hybrid structures that include multiple core sizes.
Der8auer was allowed to test a mobile processor, the Core i9-13900HK, using a custom form of Intel ROC software, dubbed “der8auer Xtreme Edition”. Since the software has been customized for video, Intel may still be hiding specific tools.
The processor is an unlocked processor offering 8 performance cores and 8 efficient cores, which is lower than the 24-core array of Raptor Lake. Interestingly, even after being installed on the reference board, the CPU can be disabled at any time and uses a different form of air cooling that isn’t what you would find on a consumer board.
Before the reference system crashed, the Core i9-13900HK was overclocked to 5.985 GHz (down from 5.6 GHz). It held somewhat steady at 5.8GHz, far higher than any current mobile processor. It’s currently unknown if the company plans to modify the current XTU app to make it more user-friendly, similar to its private-use ROC app.
