Intel continues to work on getting higher outcomes from its Arrow Lake CPUs, now with a free replace that it says will enhance gaming efficiency. The firm introduced that the replace, an overclocking profile known as “Intel 200S Boost,” is accessible for unlocked Intel Core Ultra 200S-series processors “paired with appropriate Intel Z890 motherboards and applicable Intel XMP RAM modules.
The new profile follows earlier tweaks, resembling a BIOS replace from March that The Verge’s Tom Warren discovered gave the Core Ultra 9 285K CPU inconsistently improved gaming efficiency. After testing the brand new replace this week in a number of video games and configurations, Tom’s Hardware experiences “a median enchancment of seven.5% over the formally supported reminiscence speeds.”
Intel says that the 200S Boost profile “permits customers to attain larger material, die-to-die, and reminiscence frequencies” for higher outcomes throughout “low-latency workloads like gaming.” It provides that making use of the brand new enhance profile received’t have an effect on your CPU’s guarantee. I ought to hope not!
Here’s Intel’s record of processors that assist the replace:
And right here is how Intel describes the steps to use its new overclocking profile:
Intel cautions that sure motherboards and RAM modules might not work with the brand new overclocking profile; the corporate has an inventory of all of the appropriate motherboards and RAM modules on its web page, together with different caveats.
