Weirdest headline ever. Why tell us what it almost achieved? It broke a world record, right? Well, what is that record then? Why tf is a number it didn’t hit being mentioned at all?
The overclocking team from Asus has achieved a new CPU frequency world record with Intel's brand-new Raptor Lake Refresh Core i9-14900KF. The team was able to achieve a very impressive 9043.92GHz on a single P-core with liquid helium, breaking the previous world record by 35.1MHz.
Perhaps the editor thought that "almost 9.1GHz" sounds better than "over 9GHz". I disagree with both - the best would be "over 9000 MHz" [0].

Boom, honest, direct reporting.
It’s really not hard to do, it takes more energy to think up the clickbait than to just tell the facts.
