Concerns with Intel 265k and reporting issues......

[Vimes]

Hi

I am using a Gigabyte Z890 Elite Aorus board with an Intel 265k running Windows 11.

I am using version 8.26 (5730) of HWiNFO.

According to Intel's spec of this CPU.....

Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 265K (30M Cache, up to 5.50 GHz) - Product Specifications | Intel

Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 265K (30M Cache, up to 5.50 GHz) quick reference with specifications, features, and technologies.

4.6Ghz is the max turbo speed that I should be seeing for the E-Cores. However.....



I can see speeds up to 5.2Ghz for the E Cores and wondered how that could be happening..? If indeed that value is correct.

It's probably due to Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Technology which can override the maximum per-core Turbo frequency limit or Thermal Velocity Boost.

Oh my. I was not aware of that possibility. Thanks for taking the time to promptly reply.
