Intel Launches 200S Boost Overclocking Profile for Core Ultra 200

Intel announced 200S Boost profile, designed for processors Core Ultra 200 series and motherboards on the Z890 chipset. The new mode automatically increases the clock speeds of the subsystems — without unnecessary risk and maintaining the warranty. The company says overclocking results in noticeable gains in games where performance is critical. low latency.

Among changes — an increase in the die-to-die bus frequency from 2.1 to 3.2 GHz, as well as an increase in the memory frequency from 6400 to 8000 MT/s, provided the power supply and XMP profile are stable. This should provide an increase in scenarios sensitive to bandwidth and latency.

Overclocking profile only works with Core processors Ultra with index K: 285K, 265K/KF, 245K/KF, and also requires one memory module per channel. UDIMM and CAMM2/CDIMM modules are supported, but Intel warns that only some memory kits will achieve the maximum values.

Enabling 200S Boost is easy: update the BIOS, find the desired item in the overclocking section (near XMP), select a profile, save the changes and reboot the PC. Intel recommends using Cinebench and XTU for stability testing.

Important: The company maintains the standard three-year warranty, if only this profile is used. But as always in case of overclocking - the result depends on the quality of the motherboard, cooling and power supply.
