The Founder’s Edition is available for $30 ($10 cheaper than the launch-day price). It’s essentially a paid beta. PopCap says the modes and features in the Founder’s Edition are already final, but by letting fans come in early, the team will be able to polish performance. The dev team hopes to gather feedback specific to each week’s content launch, and for the first four weeks, “Founding Neighbors” will be rewarded with exclusive rewards, like a Fire Defender item, Ultimate Champ Star costume for All-Star Zombie and Pea of Valiance costume for Peashooter.

It’s been six years since Plants vs Zombies 2 made its way into the world, and fans have been eagerly waiting for the next edition. This isn’t the first time they’ve previewed the game, though. Earlier this summer, PopCap shared a pre-alpha build on Google Play. With the feedback from that build and the Founder’s Edition, we’d expect Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville to be pretty much perfect by its October launch.

This kind of tool isn’t anything new — AMD offers a similar one for its Ryzen processors — plus, it’s only compatible with a handful of 9th generation Core CPUs. Just six, in fact, including: Core i9-9900KF, Core i9-9900K, Core i7-9700KF, Core i7-9700K, Core i5-9600KF and Core i5-9600K. Like only a few other tools, though (NVIDIA’s for example) it does everything automatically and should, in theory, create performance levels similar to those achieved in manual overclocking with a single click.

According to Jim Tanous at PCPerspective, this isn’t necessarily the case, and better results can still be had by tinkering around in the BIOS. However, the performance difference between doing this and using Intel’s tool wasn’t significant, so the function will undoubtedly be welcomed by those looking for a no-fuss way to quickly and safely get a performance boost.
