The app is reportedly built on Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) software developer kit and was made in close collaboration with Intel. The developers behind Hypertune also worked with Pieter Plaisier to help improve Hypertune's overclocking capabilities. Plaisier is a famous overclocker, known as SkatterBencher, who has helped break countless overclocking records over the years. He also provides overclocking guides and puts loads of effort into making guides for real-world overclocks that focus on stability.

Hypertune comes out after an eight-month open beta period featuring over 60,000 testers across a variety of devices and "skill levels". Famous pro gamer Shroud was also reportedly involved in the testing process for this program. Systems involved in this eight-month test with the app reportedly resulted in FPS improvements of up to 60%.
