For those who haven't heard of PYPrime, it's an open-source RAM benchmark based on Python that scales with processor and memory overclocking. However, the latter is more important, so Splave beat the previous record set by Korean overclocker safedisk despite the former having an older chip and running at a lower clock speed. Splave's Core i9-11900K was operating at 6,957.82 MHz compared to safedisk's Core i9-14900KS, which was overclocked to 8,374.91 MHz.

Yeah no regular joe is going to OC their CPU, let alone by that much. Still, older CPUs perform absolutely fine if we're talking about gaming.
