AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Breaks Cinebench R15 Multi-Thread World Record – Overclocked to 5.2 GHz on All 8 Cores With LN2 Cooling

It's launch day for AMD Ryzen processors and it's already breaking world records in the CPU department. The latest one comes from a video posted by YouTuber Austin Evans, who had uploaded a video of the impressive feat but later removed it.

The record run shows a group of overclockers putting an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X chip through the test in Cinebench R15. The chip was cooled with LN2 and voltage was bumped to an outrageous 1.875V. This allowed the overclockers to push this chip to 5.2 GHz across all 8 cores using LN2 cooling which kept the chip operating at a cool -200c. This is absolutely amazing for a chip that is yet to be released for consumers.

At these speeds, the chip was able to score 2449 Cinebench points in the multi-threaded tests, breaking the previous world record of 2410 Cinebench points on an 8 core processor. The screenshot for this run wasn't saved by anyone but another YouTuber managed to grab a few shots of what he was able to. The video can be seen below:
