wccftech - Intel XTU ‘Extreme Tuning Utility’ Adds Alder Lake CPU & DDR5 Memory Overclocking Support: Per-Core, Per-Package & VF Curve Adjustments
 
“The latest update for Intel's XTU 'Extreme Tuning Utility has added enhanced Alder Lake Desktop CPU overclocking support. The latest version also integrates a new benchmark hierarchy & a full OC feature set for upcoming 12th Gen CPUs.
 
The Intel XTU v7.5.0 introduces enhanced support for Alder Lake-S Desktop CPUs. The utility now fully supports the hybrid Performance (P-Core Golden Cove) & Efficiency (E-Core Gracemont) CPU architectures. This allows proper usage of the Speed Optimizer functionality which can boost the CPU performance in certain workloads.
 
Intel Extreme Tuning Utility now features full support for overclocking not only the 12th Gen Core CPUs but also DDR5 memory. Overclocking features such as per-core OC (TVB) & per-package OC (TVB) have been added along with VF (Voltage/Frequency) Curve support. The BCLK UI control has been removed for Intel Alder Lake-S Desktop CPUs. There's also DDR5 memory support & the utility will let users tweak memory timings in real-time for the brand new memory standard. There is also the integration of HWBot Benchmark 2.0.
 
As always, the latest version of Intel's XTU is only supported by updated Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems”
