Intel 200S Boost Explained: One-Click Overlocking Within Warranty

Talking Tech is joined by Intel’s GM of Enthusiast Channel Business Robert Hallock and Senior Principal Engineer Dan Ragland to talk about Intel 200S Boost. This is an overclocking profile designed specifically for unlocked Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors paired with compatible Z890 motherboards and approved Intel XMP memory modules. With the latest updates, Intel 200S Boost can be toggled on in the BIOS of select motherboards to clock the die-to-die, SoC fabric, and memory frequencies up to validated maximum speeds that take advantage of the headroom available in Arrow Lake processors. This can provide a modest boost in performance in latency-sensitive workloads like gaming without voiding the processor’s three-year warranty.
