Intel has introduced an innovative cooling solution known as Fast Throttle, or “Per-Core Thermal Throttle,” in its latest Raptor Lake Refresh processors.
Traditionally, processors slow down when they heat up, a process called thermal throttling or TJMax in technical terms. This can impact performance significantly, even if only a few cores are overheating. With the 14th generation Raptor Lake Refresh, Intel has implemented Fast Throttle to address this issue. Insider Jaykihn suggests that this feature will also be present in the upcoming Arrow Lake “Core Ultra 200” desktop processors.
Fast Throttle dynamically adjusts the clock speed of individual cores in response to temperature changes. This means that only overheating cores have their clock speeds adjusted, while others continue to operate normally. This approach improves overall performance compared to traditional methods by using Clock Modulation to manage core temperatures effectively.
The implementation of Fast Throttle in the Intel Arrow Lake “Core Ultra 200″ processors promises better temperature control. Overclockers will have the ability to manage core-level temperatures, and Intel may introduce more customization options with Arrow Lake.
Intel is exploring various methods to address overheating in Arrow Lake processors, including the rumored “RL-ILM” loading mechanism for the LGA-1851 socket. The combination of Fast Throttle and RL-ILM is expected to enhance heat dissipation capabilities as Arrow Lake approaches its release.
