The Ryzen 9000 series has not quite hit the mark that AMD enthusiasts anticipated. Fans are eagerly awaiting the X3D model, while Gigabyte has unveiled a new Turbo Mode for its motherboards, claiming to enhance gaming performance by 20% to 35%.
This feature, touted as a “groundbreaking BIOS enhancement,” aims to optimize performance for motherboards, including the X870E, X870, and 600 series, specifically for the Ryzen 7000X3D and Ryzen 9000 series processors.
Perhaps the most intriguing detail from Gigabyte’s announcement is the reference to a forthcoming Ryzen 9000 X3D processor, projected to deliver the most substantial performance increase of up to 35%. This processor is already generating excitement as one of the top contenders in the market upon its launch. Conversely, the non-X3D Ryzen 9000 models are expected to see a more modest 20% boost. Notably, Gigabyte claims that the X3D Turbo Mode enables the Ryzen 9000 processors to achieve gaming performance comparable to that of their X3D siblings.
However, Gigabyte did not specify the exact performance improvements expected for Ryzen 7000X3D processors. As Tom’s Hardware points out, there’s no detailed explanation on how Turbo Mode operates, with Gigabyte merely referring to it as “wizardry.”
The prospect of this performance boost is exciting and may enhance the Ryzen 9000 chips’ value. Just a few months after their launch, AMD rolled out a 17% performance upgrade for these processors, and Gigabyte’s Turbo Mode could potentially increase that performance even further. The announcement of the upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D was particularly captivating for consumers.
Gigabyte has indicated that the X3D Turbo Mode is currently available through the latest beta BIOS update, inviting users to explore the performance improvements for themselves.
