Our Time Spy CPU Physics Score jumps from 12,622 to 12,967 points.I have 2 cores on my i5 that are 3-5 degrees warmer while idle and 5-10 degrees warmer while under load, so basicly got a quad core with 2 E cores xD Our Blender benchmark time droops from 2 minutes and 33 seconds to 2 minutes and 27 seconds. Running ABT, our Cinebench R20 score jumps from 5997 to 6167, a notable jump. This requires a BIOS update on your favorite motherboard and likely needing you to go into the BIOS and manually enable it. – Similar to TB3, but when 3 or more cores are in use, the CPU boosts as far as it can while staying within the Power budget. Thermal Velocity Boost – Similar to TB2, but if the highest temp detected is below a threshold, all cores get +100Mhz.Īdaptive Boost Tech. Turbo Boost Max 3.0 – Best cores of a chip get an extra speed boost when they are the only ones utilized. Turbo Boost 2.0 – Map of boost frequencies based on the number of cores used.

End result functionality is very similar to AMD’s more recent Precision Boost 2.0.īase Frequency – guaranteed Frequency the CPU will run while staying within its specified TDP power level. It will boost core clock speeds when the active core count is 3-8 and there is still headroom in the power budget. This gives us a fourth frequency boost level for the already semi-confusing mix. Shortly before launch, Intel reached out to us with a new feature of the 11 th gen unlocked i9 processors (only the i9-11900K and i9-11900KF) known as Adaptive Boost Technology. 5.3GHz all core simply was unstable and would instantly crash the system with any multi-threaded benchmark. While nothing apparent is limiting us, our score doesn’t climb as it should. Our temps are hovering around the 90C mark which isn’t terrible but is certainly on the hot side. With the power limits relaxed, we easily get to 5.2GHz all core but are seeing power draws quickly approaching 400W. We tried for 5.2GHz all core but quickly slammed into power throttling that required us to go into the Motherboard BIOS to unlock. This does get us a bump in the score up to 6227. We’ll start by pushing the minimum clock speed to 5.1GHz.

Next, we’ll flip over to manual tuning under the advanced tab. This gives us a score of 5971, down an insignificant amount from 5997 It brings the All core utilization speed up to 5.0GHz from the default 4.8GHz.

WE’ll use Intel’s Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) first and enable its Speed optimizer.
