Gigabyte has simply launched three new motherboards with on-board AI to tune your Ryzen processor for high efficiency in video games, even promising as much as a 25% enchancment. Thanks, bot.
Again at Computex, Taiwan’s greatest tech present, we heard in regards to the newest model of Gigabyte’s X3D Turbo Mode, a know-how that will squeeze the ever-loving heck out of your Ryzen processor to extract each drop of efficiency out of it. This know-how, aptly-named X3D Turbo Mode 2.0, works by analysing what a chip is doing and adjusting frequency, energy, core depend, and balancing temperature to enhance efficiency dynamically.
Gigabyte introduced the tech however the motherboards fitted with it had been a no-show. Till now. The X870E Aorus Elite X3D Ice, X870E Aorus Grasp X3D Ice, and X870E Aorus Professional X3D Ice at the moment are formally obtainable (although but to indicate up at any retailer).

“Our proprietary X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 intelligently dynamically optimizes gaming efficiency as much as 25% by built-in AI mannequin, delivering distinctive gaming expertise and productiveness that adapts to your utilization state of affairs in real-time,” Gigabyte says.
“As much as 25%” enchancment—that is a better enchancment than the corporate beforehand famous, which suggests within the time between Computex and now, Gigabyte has discovered a sport that takes to bot-boosting higher than most. Although Gigabyte does not specify which video games we’ll see that type of leap in. In slides seen by WCCFTech again in Might, it famous Cyberpunk 2077 with a 15% enhance with Turbo Mode 2 turned on.
These X3D motherboards additionally combine Gigabyte’s D5 Bionic Corsa tech, which appears like a brand new racing sport however I guarantee you it is truly extra AI gubbins to max out your reminiscence speeds. Gigabyte claims DDR5 might be boosted as much as 9000 MT/s right here—although AMD Ryzen chips do not essentially love uber-fast reminiscence speeds, or on the very least, they don’t seem to be at all times value the additional dosh.
Picture 1 of two
Let’s concentrate on the Grasp X3D Ice, the daddy of the brand new lineup. This motherboard comes with 18 + 2 + 2 “Twin Digital” VRM, 8-layer PCB, help for that 9000 MT/s RAM velocity, and loads of PCIe 5.0 slots for each add-in playing cards and storage. It additionally options 4 Kind-C ports on the rear IO. Good. The opposite two boards are barely scaled-back variations, although all use the X870E chipset and include an extra 8-pin PCIe energy connector to energy a 65 W USB Kind-C connector. That is fairly neat.
All three motherboards solely are available in white. That simply goes to indicate how white elements have shifted from a distinct segment to mainstream in recent times.
“This revolutionary motherboard embodies our dedication to pushing the boundaries of what is doable in PC constructing know-how. Each characteristic has been meticulously designed to reinforce the consumer expertise whereas delivering uncompromising efficiency,” Gigabyte says.
Although it is actually this Turbo Mode 2.0 tech that I wish to see in motion. Will it hold the chip at affordable temperatures and follow energy limits, or will or not it’s a little bit of a novelty and simply crushed by a human? I am certain the latter is true in the fitting arms, however dynamically shifting efficiency on-the-fly is likely to be a great way to get the most effective of each worlds, offering Turbo Mode 2.0 actually is a “one-click” answer as Gigabyte claims.
