"Per-Core Overclocking Setting" in Intel XTU

I configured my overclock through the BIOS, but when I was looking through the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility I saw a section I don't understand. There's a section called "Per-Core Overclocking Setting" with "Ratio Limits" for each core. All the values are set to 120x, except for Core 3 which is at 8x. At first I thought it was a core multiplier, but with a value of 120x it clearly isn't.

I don't remember seeing anything like this in the BIOS. What is it, and why is one core at 8x while all the others are at 120x?

I'm assuming the top box that reads 48x means you have set to 4.8 on all cores. Not sure about the 8 vs 120. Never worked with a xeon chip.

Oh, I should clarify it's a i5-9600k in a z390-e motherboard. It's definitely not a Xeon.

It's likely a bug, but I would recommend setting ratio limits within the UEFI (which can be done per core)
13900KS / 8000 CAS36 / ROG APEX Z790 / ROG TUF RTX 4090

Not sure why I said xeon. I think i mixed two posts together in my brain haha
