Gigabyte has announced a "revolutionary" new performance boosting feature called Ultra Turbo Mode for its range of Z890 motherboards supporting Intel’s Core Ultra 200S (Arrow Lake) desktop processors. The enhancement is a BIOS-level feature that can enhance performance by fine-tuning the CPU, memory frequency, latency, and power limits to offer improvements of up to 35% in gaming performance. Additionally, the feature can offer a memory boost of up to 68% in AIDA64 testing across fast DDR5 memory configurations, and up to 35% higher frame rates in some titles.
On a conceptual level, it borrows from Intel’s 200 Boost profile but with additional tweaks and enhancements baked into the BIOS. Intel introduced the 200S Boost overclocking profile and Intel Performance Optimizations (IPO) for Chinese consumers back in April with an aim to offer safe overclocking gains via the motherboard BIOS with full warranty coverage.
