What happened?
Overclocker Luumi set a new Cinebench R11.5 record i5-4670K, achieving 10.8 cb with the 2013 Intel Core i5-4670K processor running at 6,301 MHz. This Cinebench R11.5 record i5-4670K surpasses the previous mark of 10.76 cb held by overclocker Strat, which had stood for roughly 12 years.
The system used an ASRock Z97 OC Formula motherboard, 4 GB of XPG DDR3 memory at 2,708 MT/s, a Corsair AXi 1600 power supply and liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling. The Cinebench R11.5 record i5-4670K test was validated on HWBot and ran under Windows 7 64-bit.
Why does this matter?
The i5-4670K, launched in 2013 on the Haswell architecture (22 nm, 4 cores/4 threads, 6 MB cache), was a popular mid-range chip. Breaking such an old Cinebench R11.5 record i5-4670K with vintage hardware shows the longevity and overclocking potential of older chips even in 2026.
The record is specific to the processor category and does not represent absolute performance of modern CPUs. Still, it reinforces the overclocking community and ongoing interest in classic benchmarks like Cinebench R11.5.
What changes in practice?
For enthusiasts, the Cinebench R11.5 record i5-4670K achievement proves there is still room to explore the limits of older hardware with LN2. It does not affect current games or productivity, but keeps the overclocking culture and HWBot validations alive.
