As such, it is an arena of non-stop innovation that also leads to unrelenting price-driven competition between those who make and sell the hardware, and those who make and sell leading-edge chips. For the past several weeks, a very specific permutation of this dynamic has earned attention thanks to an unusual and complex controversy rooted in the optimal settings for the newest Intel 13th and 14th Gen i9 processors. It is worth taking note of the story and what it means technically and otherwise, especially with regard to the way PCs are used, and by gamers.
It’s a problem that has kicked off a rolling argument between motherboard makers (such as ASUS) and Intel about exactly what settings you should use to guarantee the stability of systems packing the latest Intel processor for high-end gaming.
The Taiwanese company ASUS, one of the largest makers of motherboards, as well as the rest of the field, have proposed that motherboard makers implement what they call an ‘Intel Baseline Profile’, which would standardise basic functionality with a reduction of power limits, an indication that the two companies want to take a neutered approach to processor power management.
On the contrary, Intel has given advice to gamers and PC builders that seems to be founding a mistrust of what motherboard manufacturers are proposing. They have been advising – in plain terms – to not use the lower settings, but rather to find yourself a higher power profile suited for the particular combination of motherboard and processor.
This tension disentangles into three fundamental approaches to this problem, which each provide us with different rhizome-mappings of computers and their components. Each has its own merits, and we still haven’t reached a consensus about which is best to use in building stable systems that offer sustained performance. What algorithms should run simultaneously? What other decisions can’t we automate while using AI itself to complete other tasks that we can’t manage on our own? Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen i9 mean that we’re on the verge of dystopias and utopias built of atoms. The anthropomorphism vs trophomorphism dilemma is huge, even if you just want to build a more stable PC. It’s also quite abstract – if you’re aching to build your own future but don’t know where to begin, where do you even learn how to deal with all these new complexities in the first place? And where do you find a philosophically interested learning robot?
To the unenlightened, but potentially genius gaming aficionado, adjusting the overclocking of a motherboard to adapt to different power profiles means that a ‘goldilocks’ scenario is possible, where performance and efficiency become balanced. This allows the computer’s hardware to be directly adjusted, in essence at the most elemental software levels, through a BIOS, which is installed on every motherboard.
Stability will probably be better if the user obeys ASUS’ suggestion, especially in situations such as gaming with high-end setups that are more likely to crash, or so the theory goes. That’s a more conservative choice, favouring stability over making the most of the CPU’s performance.
In contrast, Intel’s method is optimised for users who want to use their systems to the fullest extent. They can select a higher power profile, which would let enthusiasts get the most out of their hardware (at the risk of toppling a cooling system).
This dichotomy forms a conundrum for gamers, and possibly for any PC builder, who have to think about this tradeoff when deciding upon the thermal design and choice of a power supply. Plan on being stable with a conservative power limit; risk a little extra voltage – and thus a little extra risk – and gain unmatched performance.
For ASUS and Intel, teaming up with the end-user and having a better understanding of their needs is ought to be of paramount importance. Satisfying the gaming community’s biggest concerns could create a powerful competitive advantage by fostering loyalty and trust.
ASUS, after all, is one of the big companies in PC hardware. It doesn’t make games or run a Curators’ August, it’s a hardware company that specialises in making motherboards and graphics cards, for starters, as well as a huge array of other hardware. Its willingness to go against the tide here serves to highlight its focus on its market: it’s the professionalism of a gadget-maker, with a commitment to user experience, and a desire to make things that remain stable over time, and in the process it won’t take the blame for things that haven’t gone quite as planned.
