In a new slide deck released today, the company detailed Precision Boost Overdrive 2, which improves upon the original’s feature set by boosting not only multi-threaded workloads, but single-threaded workloads as well. It also adds undervolting for improved performance per watt and a potential reduction in operating temperatures.



One of the core facets of Precision Boost Overdrive 2 is a new Curve Optimizer tool that adjusts voltage depending on operating conditions. According to AnandTech’s coverage, this is done on the order of one millisecond, lending to...
