Overview

• Intel's 200S Boost profile increases fabric, die-to-die, and DDR5 memory frequencies, with fabric clocks reaching 3.2 GHz and memory speeds up to 8000 MT/s.
• The feature is exclusive to five K-series Core Ultra 200S processors and requires select Z890 motherboards for compatibility.
• Early tests, including from Tom's Hardware, report modest gaming performance gains of approximately 7% with the 200S Boost enabled.
• Intel guarantees that enabling the 200S Boost does not void the standard three-year warranty for boxed processors.
• The update targets gaming performance improvements after underwhelming results at launch, aiming to compete with AMD's Ryzen 9000-series processors.
