Towards the end of last year, Gigabyte launched a BIOS feature for its AMD AM5 socket motherboards called X3D Turbo Mode. With a single click, the motherboard would reconfigure how a Ryzen X3D CPU was set up, squeezing a little more performance out of it. Well, it's back again with a new version, X3D Turbo Mode 2, and this time, Gigabyte is promising a much larger boost.

At this year's Computex event, Gigabyte unveiled the latest generation of its one-click-booster system alongside a raft of new motherboards, as reported by Wccftech. The first version of X3D Turbo Mode worked in a similar manner to other vendors, such as Asus' Turbo Mode, in that it simply disabled SMT (simultaneous multithreading) and for Ryzen 9 X3D processors, it also disabled the second CCD.
