I've got an i7 11700k and achieved 5.1ghz on a couple cores. Others report 5.3ghz and 5.2ghz across all cores online. It seems both CPU and motherboard might play a role here.

It's tricky to gauge the situation. The silicon lottery affects motherboards too, but I’d lean toward the lottery aspect here. Some folks can’t handle 5GHz because of it. Memory seems more relevant to board issues. The gap between 5.1 and 5.3 isn’t huge in percentage terms. Looks like a lot of cost and work for little benefit. Edited January 17, 2022 by Bombastinator
