I want to understand this so I can enjoy using massive mod packs in Minecraft.

It's factory overclocked to 5GHz with all cores, but I'm not sure if it's the ideal choice for Minecraft anymore. Haven't played in a while, so I'm uncertain if this is the best chassis for the game.

Surely there is something cheaper right? @minibois

It's the only confirmed CPU at that frequency, which you requested. If not, it might be wiser to look for a strong CPU suited for your needs instead of tying specific numbers like 5Ghz. A Ryzen 5 3600 or i5 9600K would provide solid single-core performance for most tasks. Just not a guaranteed 5Ghz.

You wanted a method to boost your processor speed to around 5 GHz.

9600K/KF, possibly K series i3s—uncertain if they’ll deliver consistent 5 reliably.

No way at all, I won't get an fx9590.

Consider the Ryzen 5 3600x doesn't reach 5GHz, yet speed isn't the sole factor when evaluating a CPU.

You can get a 60ghz processor even if its IPC is low, but it won’t be fast. A budget 5ghz single-core chip doesn’t actually exist—its IPC is much lower, like the FX 9590 which has poor IPC compared to a slower chip that runs faster.
