DOUBT with Intel core ultra 7 265KF and intel 200s boost BIOS

[DK888]

Good afternoon everyone. I recently purchased an INTEL CORE ULTRA 7 265KF processor + ASUS Z890 TUF WIFI PLUS motherboard + TEAM GROUP DELTA RGB 7600 32GB (2X16) CL36 1.40v RAM.

Now, I have two questions: Does this new technology and Intel 200s Boost BIOS option require specific memory to work, or can it be activated with any memory? I activated that option in the BIOS and I don't see any changes. According to the memory, it would be overclocked to 8000MHz and the processor would have an increase in NGU from 2.6GHz to 3.2GHz and D2D from 2.1GHz to 3.2GHz. The truth is that I don't see any of the aforementioned increases. The memory remains at 7600MHz and there is no performance increase in games or programs.

And the other question is how do I make the speed of 5.2 or 5.4ghz of the intel core ultra 7 processor stay at maximum all the time and not drop ..? Because even having an energy plan in windows at maximum performance, which is supposed to make the processor be at 100%, it still does not respect it .. and I have also disabled in bios intel speedstep and intel speedstep shift so that the speed of the P cores does not drop, but despite everything the speed continues to drop depending on the use, that is, if I do not use heavy programs it remains at 800 to 1700 all P cores. And when it is stressed it goes up to 5.2 or 5.5ghz, and then goes down, what I want to know is what option in bios will make it always stay and not drop below 5.2 or 5.4ghz? The only cores that are always at full capacity are the E cores which are at 4.6GHz.

Hello DK888,

Thank you for posting your concern in the community. Let me address your first question. Based on my understanding, you have TEAM GROUP DELTA RGB 7600 32GB (2x16) CL36 1.40V RAM. If you examine the technical specifications of the Intel CORE ULTRA 7 265KF, you'll see that the maximum data bandwidth it can handle is around 6400 MT/s. However, with the help of Intel 200S Boost, it can be overclocked up to 8000 MT/s, meaning the processor can handle up to 8000 MT/s if your RAM supports that maximum speed.

Given the maximum speed of your RAM, it can only achieve 7600 MT/s, as this is the highest speed your RAM is designed to handle. It will not reach 8000 MT/s because your RAM is not designed for that level of speed.

Regarding your second question, the fluctuation in processor speeds depending on the task is due to the Turbo Boost Technology of the processor. This advanced technology manages your CPU speed by allocating the right amount of speed for specific tasks.

If you wish to maintain your CPU speed at 5.2 or 5.4 GHz, you will need to overclock your processor. Please be aware that overclocking your processor beyond its specifications may void your warranty. Whether done manually, in the BIOS, or through any third-party AI overclocking, altering its specifications may result in your warranty being voided.

Using the 200S Boost profile will not void the processor's warranty. However, the 200S Boost profile does not guarantee that any overclocking frequencies will be achievable or stable, nor does it ensure any specific level of performance.

Thanks for the reply, but I have a question about why in the 12th, 13th and 14th generation of Intel just by activating the "maximum performance" power plan in Windows 11 or 10 I can maintain the speed at maximum even when idle, but with the Intel Core Ultra it is not like that since putting the power plan on maximum performance the speed continues to fluctuate, the maximum power plan says that the processor will always be at maximum speed, but in practice the core ultra does not respect it and does not stay at maximum.

Hello DK888,

Thank you for your patience. The differences in behavior between 12th, 13th, and 14th generation desktop processors and Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) likely arise from advancements in power management and efficiency technologies in the newer architecture. Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors are engineered to optimize both performance and energy efficiency, which can lead to fluctuating speeds even when the "Maximum Performance" power plan is selected.

In previous generations, the "Maximum Performance" power plan might have maintained consistently higher clock speeds. However, Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors dynamically adjust clock speeds based on workload demands to better balance performance and power consumption. This approach reduces power usage and heat generation when full performance isn't necessary, even under a high-performance power plan.

If you wish to maintain consistently higher speeds, you might consider exploring additional BIOS settings or using third-party applications to manually adjust performance configurations. However, please be aware that continuously running the processor at maximum speed can increase power consumption and heat, potentially affecting the hardware's longevity.
