Gigabyte has released three new X870 ICE motherboards & its brand new X3D Turbo Mode tech to further boost AMD Ryzen CPUs performance.
Gigabyte Fine-Tunes AMD Ryzen CPU Performance On AM5 Platform With X3D Turbo Mode 2 Tech, An AI-Based Overclocking & Tuning BIOS Feature
Gigabyte had a jam-packed Computex 2025 presentation, and during the media event, the company unveiled its 2nd Gen X3D Turbo Mode 2 technology, which optimizes AMD Ryzen CPUs and improves their performance, both in applications and games.
The tech has a lot of aspects, but the four main features it offers are:
- Analyze User’s Workload
- Adjust CPU Frequency
- Sense Temperature
- Manage Power Delivery
The manufacturer showed off a graph, comparing its own X3D Turbo Mode 2 tech to AMD’s CPB (Core Performance Boost), and with the feature enabled, you can see that it effectively outclasses AMD’s CPB and the differences start to show up when the system has loaded up.
In terms of performance improvements, the X3D Turbo Mode 2 technology offers a 10% boost in creator apps, up to a 15% gain in gaming titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 versus a Ryzen CPU that is configured at stock, and an overall improvement of up to 35% in multithreaded scenarios.
Another cool feature coming to Gigabyte’s ICE motherboard is the use of M.2 EZ-Flex design for SSD, which ensures that SSDs make full contact with the heatsink and have flexible pressure on both ends of the storage device. The new feature also allows for up to 12 °C temperature reduction versus a regular motherboard design.
Gigabyte is also moving the Wi-Fi Drivers within the BIOS by expanding the size of its Driver flash memory by 2x (64 MB vs 32 MB). This means that the Wi-Fi driver will be stored already within the BIOS, making it easy for users not to worry about installing Wi-Fi drivers when building a new PC or installing a fresh copy of Windows. Users can update the Wi-Fi drivers to a local storage device afterward.
Gigabyte Launches A Trio of X870E X3D Series Motherboards With X3D Turbo Mode 2 Tech Integrated Within The BIOS
Moving over to the trio, we have the Gigabyte X870 AORUS Master X3D ICE, X870 AORUS PRO X3D ICE, and the X870 AORUS ELITE X3D ICE.
Each motherboard features a lovely white color and aesthetics that are sure to delight everyone. Feature-wise, these motherboards are fully loaded, and you can expect top-notch overclocking, IO capabilities, and cooling.
In addition to these three, Gigabyte also has five standard motherboards which also come with updated designs and include normal B850 and X870 options too. Gigabyte is going to reveal more details on these products in the coming months, so stay tuned for more information such as pricing and availability.
