Intel's new '200S Boost' feature: 7% higher gaming performance thanks to memory overclocking, now covered by the warranty


Memory and fabric overclocking now covered by the warranty wrapper.

The new approach aims to leverage several existing features and package them under the warranty protection umbrella, much like AMD introduced a 105W mode to boost performance for its underperforming 65W Ryzen 9000 models. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Intel is also obviously wary of motherboard vendors pushing the limits with their BIOS settings (which they have been known to do) and thus creating another potential chip reliability issue. Overall, the new 200S Boost feature doesn't alter the competitive landscape, but it does provide an easy-to-use option for less-advanced users to gain a few extra percentage points of performance.
