Core speed reaching 6.7GHz is impressive!
HWinfo correctly displays the Ryzen 5000 and 7000 series performance. It shows speeds up to 11GHz at once and also 6.7GHz.
Consider whether we'll witness CPUs reaching above 10 gigahertz in stock configurations. Core clock speeds have noticeably increased over the past two years.
I recall how long ago the notion of reaching 5GHz seemed out of reach, the gentle 'cap' we faced when moving from 4-5GHz. It looks like the advancements seen in compact parts like the Ryzen 7000 series’ 5nm CCDs allowed speeds that were surprising, and 6GHz was within reach. If Intel matched this path using 10nm, their designs could easily surpass +7GHz today. With Intel adopting similar approaches on 5nm, achieving 7GHz would seem feasible. At the very least, with 1nm manufacturing, hitting 10GHz might be achievable, perhaps even at extremely low temperatures like LN2.
