Intelligent Overclocking

NPU Boost

The integrated NPU in Intel^® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows — and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.

Asynchronous Clock

For next-level frequency flexibility, the TUF Gaming B860M features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, NPU, D2D and NGU. Drive memory, NPU and others performance to their absolute brink while maintaining the stability of CPU clock domains.
Separate CPU BCLK from other domains for unfettered overclocking.
