Precision Boost 2 works on X370 boards

AMD has released a video which talks about its latest technologies introduced with the recently launched Ryzen 2000 series CPUs, the eXtended Frequency Range 2 (XFR2) and the Precision Boost 2 technologies.

AMD's Techincal Marketing Manager, Robert Hallock, went to Youtube to explain details regarding AMD's latest eXtended Frequency Range 2 (XFR2) and Precision Boost 2 technologies, both available with the recently launched Zen+ based Ryzen 2000 series Pinnacle Ridge CPUs.

With the move to the 12nm manufacturing process and the new/improved Zen+ architecture, AMD had to somewhat tune its auto-overclocking technologies, in order to pull the last MHz from the CPU itself. Of course, you can always tun the rest of the system hardware, including the memory.

According to AMD, its latest Ryzen 2000 series CPUs can pull the highest possible clock with the highest number of cores enabled and can adjust the clock accordingly with temperature and power in mind, making the manual overclocking pretty much obsolete, at least unless you are doing some extreme overclocking with LN2.

According to some reviews, the Precision Boost 2 dynamic clocking technology can do a better job than with manual settings.
