The Cofi Lake-S, both in terms of speed and speed, has been widely promoted by Intel. Its 14 nm ++ is beyond repair and CPUs like the Intel Core i9-9900KS have shown that the number of watts per unit is more than ready for the platform, since it has gained 5 GHz speed across its cores through its Boost.
So, how is it possible for Intel to achieve a + 300 MHz increase in the same area and also have two more signals as in the new i9-10900K?
Thermo Velocity Boost: now it's Intel inspired by AMD
It sounds silly, but the fact is that Intel is following a strategy very similar to that adopted by AMD years ago. We've talked long and hard about its processor technologies, such as the XFR and XFR 2, which Intel's core inspiration is what the CPU can do that is not limited to specific parameters.
Thermo Velocity Boost It is very much on the XFR 2 route and is nothing about Intel processors technology that allows for very short workouts and helps Turbo Boost provide the opportunity and automatically increase the CPU frequency.
The only advice required by TVB is that the processor has a premium for cooling, where better cooling means that the processor can reach the frequency set by Intel, but not otherwise.
It is required that Turbo Boost and TVB are enabled, where both technologies will increase the frequency when the processor finds that Tune It's somewhere high or low. This increase in frequency will be observed for some time, at present we do not know exactly what and of course as long as the temperature remains the same or lower than the prescribed Tsel.
How much increase we can expect
TVB was first introduced to processors Coffee Lake-H on laptops and although it was not a good option to test the technology for its serial use and device restrictions in terms of frozen, Intel said it's possible to see +200 MHz if the Tsel temperature was below 50 ° C or less.
With Kofi Lake-R, Whiskey Lake-U and Comet Lake-U the average TVB increase is 100100 MHz when Tsel is low 70ºC
As we can see, the TVB works very similar to the AMD XFR, though in this case there is no specification for the use of the CPU or VID voltage at the end, it seems as practical as we can say that it is far less limited to the Comet Lake processors than the Ryzen.
Now it will be necessary to verify if Intel is able to achieve the 5.3 GHz claimed and i9-10900K and most of all, how much time it has to empower you. In any case, it is a step forward from Swan for its users, a technology without the intervention of the owner that can enable you to achieve performance as long as the CPU cools below the set limits.
