Features

Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0

Identifies the two fastest cores on the processor die to provide improved single threaded performance on X-series processors. The driver provided along with the feature allows end users to direct workloads to the fastest core by setting priority to preferred applications.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0

Dynamically increases the processor's frequency, as needed, by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom when operating below specified limits.

Intel Hyper-Threading Technology

Delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.

Integrated Memory Controller

Supports up to 4 channels of DDR4-2666 memory with 1 DIMM per channel. Support for the Intel Extreme Memory Profile (Intel XMP) specification, revision 2.0, for DDR4.

Intel Optane Memory

Provides performance improvements as well as fast app response times for system acceleration and responsiveness.

Intel Smart Cache

8.25MB of shared cache allows faster access to your data by enabling dynamic and efficient allocation of the cache to match the needs of each core significantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.

Overclocking Enabled

Fully unlocked core multipliers, power, base clock and DDR4 memory ratios for amazing flexibility with overclocking.

Chipset/Motherboard Compatibility

Supported by the Intel X299 Chipset.
