Gigabyte says its ‘revolutionary’ Ultra Turbo Mode can boost frame rates by 35% — BIOS level enhancement exclusive to Intel Z890 motherboards

    Time to fuck up some more CPUs I guess.

    I guess it’s time for Ultra series to go boom too, lol

    I would have believed in 3-5%.
    35% is more than generational uplift between CPUs, it’s just not possible

    For extremely specific scenario, at a price of general performance. If it was that easy, all manufacturer would do it

    I don’t believe it. Intel are already pushing the Core200 series really hard, if they had that much more performance on the table you know for a fact then it would be Intel and not Gigabyte making this kind of enhancement.

    Disabling half the core. specialy the e-core and using that room for the memory controller and the main 2-4 core of the CPU. We as been doing that since the 12th gen. My own 12600k have his E-core disabled and the 2 main core to 5.3ghz and the other to 4.90 ( cannot go higher for mine)

    rare are game that are core count demanding. so the up to 35% is believable.

    So disabling the 12 e-core from the 265k and mid-maxing the p-core. i have no doubt it can be done to get tangible gaming performance. but you will lost all the multi-core performance.

    These motherboard software thing are probably doing relatively the same thing. Parking the e-core completely and crank everything else. So 35% from the terrible gaming performance of the arrow lake CPU that are performing worst that 14th for information. Yeah. Believable. Still make them waste of sand.

    > gigabyte overclocking your CPU

    Yeah nah, I couldn’t think of anything worse.

    I wish people would read for a few minutes instead of just claiming “tHaTs NoT pOsSiBlE1!!”.

    Intel themselves have improved performance on these CPUs with BIOS updates as they had left a lot on the table with fabric frequency etc.: [https://game.intel.com/us/stories/200s-boost-overclocking-profile/](https://game.intel.com/us/stories/200s-boost-overclocking-profile/)

    Those adjustments of internal clocks alone gained approximately 7% better performance.

    Why is it so hard to believe that Gigabyte raising the power limits, boost limits, clocks, and adjusting memory parameters would do more of the same? They heavily emphasize the improved memory performance, and that’s probably the primary source of the gaming improvements.

    Gigabyte also did this with their AMD boards, netting ‘up to’ 18% performance gains for multi CCD x3d and non-x3d 9000 series CPUs.

    So it auto min-maxes the system. you better have won the silicon lottery and have a good cooler it it will be as stable as Hydrogen-4

    this ultra turbo boost ultimate supreme max perfect mega squared enough to run mine sweeper at 240p at 10 frames per sometimes?

    Messing with Intel’s Baseline has never given any problems, go for it boi

  12. christianlewds

    Another 35% performance increase

    >!^(for 0.2ms before we have to throttle back because 0.21ms bricks your CPU)!<

  13. Smol_WoL

    Intel has a chance to do the funniest thing.

    Turn your pc into a toaster with one simple button press!

  15. Im here under volting my cpu cause i cant seems to get pass 60% when working or ingame
