You can get more from the already tough new generation chips in dozens of games.
This week saw the debut of Intel's new beast, the Core i9-14900KS, which is impressively powerful in its own right thanks to its boosted 6.2GHz clock speed. However, Blues also supported the CPU with additional optimization, thanks to which a very serious jump in performance can be observed in some games: for example, Metro Exodus produces 11% better numbers.
This technology, called Intel Application Optimization, currently supports 14 games, including Rainbow Six: Siege, World of Warcraft, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Final Fantasy XIV. The technology supports Intel Core i9-14900 K/KF/KS and Core i7-14700K/KF desktop processors, as well as Core i7-14700HX and Core i9-14900HX for laptops, but not all games are available for the latter; RDR2, for example, has been excluded. of standard deviation.
Don't panic if your favorite game or the processor in your device is not in this list, because IAO has a so-called advanced mode that can be activated in unsupported games as well, and this is also the case for many. The 12th and 13th generation also works with the processor. Centrality.
These haven't been validated by Intel, so there's no guarantee we'll see any improvement, but in many cases we can probably still get a few percent by having Thread Director distribute tasks appropriately.
