steven36 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Windows 10 19H2 will include optimizations to how instructions are processed by the CPU in order to increase the performance and reliability of the operating system and its applications. When a CPU is manufactured, not all of the cores are created equal. Some of the cores may have slightly different voltage and power characteristics that could allow them to get a "boost" in performance. These cores are called "favored cores" as they can offer better performance then the other cores on the die. With Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, an operating system will use information stored in the CPU to identify which cores are the fastest and then push more of the CPU intensive tasks to those cores. According to Intel, this technology "delivers more than 15% better single-threaded performance". With Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, lightly-threaded performance is optimized by identifying your processor's fastest cores and directing your most critical workloads to them. While Windows 10 has already supported Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, in a recent Windows Insider blog post Microsoft has stated that Windows 10 19H2 will include optimizations on how instructions are distributed to these favored cores. "A CPU may have multiple “favored” cores (logical processors of the highest available scheduling class). To provide better performance and reliability, we have implemented a rotation policy that distributes work more fairly among these favored cores." By offering a better rotation policy, critical instructions will be distributed more evenly among the favored cores so that they are executed quicker. It should be noted that not all CPUs support Intel Turbo Boost Technology. For Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the following CPUs are supported: Intel® Core™ i7 Mobile and Desktop Processors Intel® Core™ i5 Mobile and Desktop Processors Intel® Core™ X-series Processors For Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, the following CPUs are supported: Intel® Core™ i7-69xx/68xx Processor Family Intel® Core™ i9-7900X/i9-7920X/i9-7940X/i9-7960X/i9-7980XE/i7-7820X/i7-9800X Intel® Core™ i9-9820X/i9-99x0XE/i9-99x0X Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1600 v4 Product Family (single-socket only) Intel 10th Generation CPUs Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 What is AMD equivalent CPU boost technology for this? Looks like Intel marketing strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old news they done this for 1903 https://www.techradar.com/news/windows-10-may-2019-update-brings-amd-performance-boost Turbo Boost Max 3.0 was introduced in 2016 and Microsoft is just now utilizing it . Vendors can give you nice new features but the OS makers have to bake it in there Software and Microsoft is slow . Linux got better better Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Support In Linux 4.11 / 2017 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux-411-features&num=1 Windows have the native driver like Linux so need for the Intel software anymore, The Windows OS has native driver support for Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and the feature is enabled automatically. The processor feature Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 is enabled in the hardware and p-code. The OS knows the feature of the processor and loads the native driver. There's no need to enable in the BIOS or OS. System. Running a tool like Intel® Extreme Utility can monitor the processor's Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0 frequency. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000021587/processors.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
