Intel has released an updated version of its eXtreme Tuning Utility (XTU). The newest version, officially carrying the v10.0.0.76 moniker, is available to download. However, this version is designed exclusively for Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 200S series "Arrow Lake" processors. There are now two versions of Intel XTU: version 7.14.2.14, which supports unlocked Intel 14th Core and older processors, and version 10.x, which supports unlocked Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) and newer. The XTU clocking utility only works on high-end Z-series boards like Z690, Z790, and the upcoming Z890 for "Arrow Lake-S." Below is a list of changes with XTU drivers now being replaced with Intel Innovation Platform Framework (IPF), which we are still trying to figure out what it is supposed to do. Many more features are listed below. However, we cannot decipher them until "Arrow Lake" reviews appear.



Changelog of XTU v10.0.0.76:
  • Replaced XTU drivers with the Intel Innovation Platform Framework (Intel IPF).
  • Only supported processor family is Arrow Lake
  • Added SA Fabric controls.
  • Added Dual Reference Clock controls.
  • Added support for Granular per-core ratios.
  • Added support for Maximum Voltage.
  • Added per-point Real Time Memory Timings controls.
  • Added Core Parking controls
  • Security improvements.
  • Per-core ratio controls will no longer be automatically tuned based on values tuned in the active-core ratios.
  • 1 Active Core Ratio will be automatically tuned upwards if per-core ratios are tuned above the current 1 Active Core Ratio. Otherwise, active-core ratios controls will no longer be automatically tuned based on values tuned in the per-core ratios.
  • The effective ratio will be the lower of the applicable active-core and per-core ratios.
  • "Default" voltage has been removed from Voltage Override controls. All Voltage Override controls will now reflect their true value, even at boot.
  • OC TVB is now available on E-Cores, per-core.

I guess Intel is a software company now; special microcode, vulnerability mitigations... its like they are Agile developing their CPUs now! Soon you can download your 200 mhz OC and turn everything into a KS!

If Intel, Nvidia and AMD are all software companies now, then where's the hardware coming from? :wtf:

Ahh so you now cant undervolt as a auto applied on boot with this XTU now. Final step in making it a bios only thing for daily.

Weird they are still willing to allow for “tuning“ after what happened to raptorlake
There is a difference between allowing users to tune post setup, and bios vendors pre tuning as a default. The former is far less of an issue.
