Here is the current list of videos in the series:
- What’s New in Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus CPUs | The Blueprint explores the chip layout of Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus series processors and breaks down what’s changed inside the architecture. From faster die-to-die links to improvements in the memory subsystem, these updates are designed to reduce latency and improve gaming performance.
- CUDIMMs: Cleaner Signals, Higher DDR5 Speeds | The Blueprint covers what a CUDIMM (clocked unbuffered dual in-line memory module) is and why it matters. By adding a clock driver to the module, CUDIMMs can help improve signal integrity at high data rates. Whether you’re overclocking or running at stock settings, CUDIMMs can help enable higher memory speeds on compatible processors and motherboard platforms. Intel is currently the only technology company with CUDIMM support on select motherboards and CPUs.
- Intel Application Optimization (APO): Fixing Overthreading in Games | The Blueprint explains overthreading, how inefficient thread scheduling can impact gaming performance, and what Intel Application Optimization (APO) does for supported games. If you’ve ever wondered why assigning more threads is not always better, this episode breaks down what happens under the hood and how Intel APO can improve workload efficiency.
- How Overclocking Really Works on Intel CPUs | The Blueprint explores what overclocking can change within the processor — and why memory, fabric, and ring frequencies can matter as much as core clocks. If you’re a PC enthusiast or gamer who wants to understand the “why” behind overclocking, this one’s for you.
Note: Altering clock frequency or voltage may void any product warranties and reduce stability, security, performance, and life of the processor and other components. Check with system and component manufacturers for details. Technology may enable Intel to detect alteration of clock frequency or voltage during issue investigations.
