Gigabyte, known for its graphics cards, motherboards and other accessories for PC gaming, has unveiled new technology designed to improve the performance of the Intel Core i9-13900K processor.
A few days after the official release of the new 13th generation Intel Raptor Lake chips, the manufacturer Gigabyte announced a new technology exclusive to the most powerful chip in the series, the Intel Core i9-13900K. As a reminder, the latter offers a total of 24 cores, including 8 P cores and 16 E cores, as well as 34 threads. Performance cores are clocked at 3.0 GHz, but can go up to 5.40 GHz, or even 5.80 GHz on a single core with Max Turbo Frequency technology.
Gigabyte has decided to go even further than Intel’s official specs on its Z970 boards. Indeed, the manufacturer announced that by simply updating the BIOS of GIGABYTE Z790 motherboards and activating a new option called “Instant 6GHz”users can increase the frequency of the Intel Core i9-13900K processor to 6 GHz in the blink of an eye.
Gigabyte launches new one-click overclocking option
By automatically adjusting the processor voltage and calibrating the Vcore load line to detect the two most optimized cores, Gigabyte will allow one click to switch one of the two most efficient cores to a frequency of 6 GHz. The manufacturer announces that this new option Instant 6GHz will increase performance by 3% on a single core and to deliver a similar experience to the OC edition on the i9-13900K processor.
Gigabyte specifies that this option will only be currently not available by default on its Z790 motherboardsand that it will be necessary update BIOS manually after having installed the component in his PC. As usual, this is available on the manufacturer’s official website, in the section reserved for your motherboard, and the update is to be carried out with Q-Flash or Q-Flash Plus.
This new option may well convince new customers to switch to Gigabyte rather than other manufacturersbut there is no doubt that major competitors such as Asus or MSI will also soon offer a similar option on their own products.
