This is a recently released Raptor Lake CPU with six efficiency cores and eight performance cores.

To see what the software can do, he used a validation board running a Core i9-13900HK mobile chip. In the video, the software is shown to be responsive with an intuitive user interface. You can even change the voltage on a per-core basis. There's no reboot required, and changes are applied instantly. That includes changing the frequency multiplier, voltage, and so forth. You can select any of the cores, such as cores 1, 2, 9, and 14, and apply new settings just to those. It lets you overclock on a per-core basis in real time. de8auer likens it to a slimmed-down version of Intel's eXtreme Tuning Utility, known as XTU. It's listed as 'confidential' in the video, as it's for internal use only. The software in question is called Real-Time Overclocking, or ROC for short. This level of control allowed de8auer to overclock a mobile chip all the way to 5.8GHz with ease.

The most interesting is an internal overclocking tool Intel uses that offers granular control over a ton of normally inaccessible attributes. As expected, he showed off all kinds of software and hardware the general public will never be able to use. (We know we're already polishing our resumes.) It recently invited German overclocker de8auer to its offices to show off some of its testing and validation tools. Deep in the bowels of Intel's Portland, Oregon facilities, the company operates an overclocking laboratory.
