Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 29368, member: 2262"] ASUS just added a neat trick to AMD 800 series motherboards through a BIOS update called AI Cache Boost. This clever update tweaks your system settings by adjusting voltage levels and pushing the Infinity Fabric clock all the way up to 2100 MHz. When this happens, data zips between your CPU cores, cache, and memory much faster than before. This really helps when you run big AI programs like large language models. Tests prove it works great. An AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D jumped from 1490 to 1680 points on the UL Procyon AI benchmark—that's almost 13% better! Other chips like the 9950X3D and 9900X3D saw around 4% better scores with AI Cache Boost turned on. The cool part? This feature only targets AI tasks and doesn't mess with gaming, meaning you can leave it running all the time, no matter what you do on your computer. ASUS created another option called Turbo Game Mode for people wanting even more speed. This mode turns off simultaneous multi-threading or extra processor cores to squeeze out more performance when running AI programs that don't need every core. Testing shows adding this mode on top of AI Cache Boost can boost speeds anywhere from 11% to nearly 20%. One test pushed an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D from 1426 points to 1702 points with both features active. Just remember that Turbo Game Mode cuts back on multi-threading abilities, making it best for tasks that need raw speed instead of lots of cores working together. Any user with an ASUS AMD 800 series motherboard and Ryzen 9000 processor can grab these features—just update your BIOS first. The performance gains make it worth checking out, especially if you run AI applications regularly. [/QUOTE]
