Observed Frequency Trends in OC
Q:How much OC can I expect from my CPU?
A:There are many factors
–Every CPU is designed to meet nominal requirements with intentional guardband – not specifically for OC
–Overclocking is the act of tapping into the intentional guardband + design conservatism + Si process conservatism
–This changes with each CPU process stepping, architecture change and overall design targets
HEDT = High End Desktop. Today this includes Socket LGA2011.
This data was collected from overclocking forums and should be considered approximate for illustrative purposes only.
