X3D Turbo Mode, a new feature that is is designed to maximize gaming performance on X870E, X870, and 600 series motherboards with AMD Ryzen 7000X3D and 9000 series processors, features unique optimization parameters that allow even Ryzen 9000 non-X3D processors to achieve similar gaming performance levels as their X3D counterparts, according to a recent press release that GIGABYTE shared about how X3D Turbo Mode is coming to “revolutionize gaming performance.” The new feature, which is said to be integrated with AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2a in the latest BETA BIOS release and synchronized with the latest version of AORUS AI SNATCH when activated, is also advertising performance increases of up to 18% for what is presumably the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D, as well as 5% for Ryzen 9800X3D series processors. The original word from GIGABYTE can be found below.
GIGABYTE X3D Turbo Mode is a cutting-edge feature that unifies cores distribution, bandwidth tuning, and hardware power balancing, resulting in pushing the boundaries of gaming performance. Empirical testing demonstrates that this feature delivers tangible benefits to gamers, with performance increases of up to 18% for incoming Ryzen 9000 series 16-core X3D processors, an astounding 18% for Ryzen 9000 non-X3D processors, and 5% for Ryzen 9800 X3D processors. Notably, X3D Turbo Mode’s unique optimization parameters allow even Ryzen 9000 non-X3D processors to achieve similar gaming performance levels as their Ryzen X3D counterparts. Experience smoother gameplay, higher frame rates, and reduced latency with GIGABYTE’s BIOS innovation- X3D Turbo Mode.

Join Discussion →So what if you use this turbo mode on an actual x3d chip? :p
so does it just throw an extra 100 watts at the cpu and crank up the speed or what? doesn't make much sense to me
I assume that will detonate your CPU?? :LOL:
LoL....AISnatch.....:eek:
This was maybe not so surprising:

I have never encountered a BIOS auto-optimization feature that was worth enabling.
Pretty sure all this does is disable one of the CCD's in a dual CCD setup. So the CPU acts as a single CCD setup. For the X3D SKU's it disables the non-X3D CCD and only activates the X3D one. Thus the game/app doesn't have to worry about using the CCD without the L3 3D cache. This helps increase performance since Windows sucks at scheduling.
With one of the CCDs disabled, on a non-X3D chip the active CCD can probably clock a good bit more thus providing performance in the way of clock speed increase as well.
...and since it's Gigabyte, it probably wont effect the Chinese backdoor.
That's already done in Windows. J2C covered this.
I think missed what you are referring to. Have a link?
That might be true, Im just saying all this thing does is disable the CCD without the 3D cache.

Kind of the same and there's an update about a month later regarding BIOS fixes.

Oh geebus... yea avoiding gigabyte because I doubt this will be their last try and they will just use this to learn how to hide their back doors better.
Actually a shame I've always liked that brand before.
That's an odd list of mobo's. You'd think it would include an entire line, but it doesn't. I don't see my X570 Aorus Ultra listed, but the Elite is.
