Just wondering, because some companies (IE: Lenovo) advertise the turbo Boost speed rather than the actual speed.

I found this on the Intel site. Should be informative.

So basically it's a Dynamic Setting that cannot be set by the user, and relies solely on what programs are using what kind of power.

From the whitepaper:
So it can be enabled/disabled by the user, via the BIOS, if the vendor choses to have it in the BIOS as an option.It is possible for BIOS to contain a set-up option to enable or disable Intel Turbo Boost technology and it operates under operating system (OS) control by engaging when the OS requests the highest performance satete (P0)

Then I better get an i7 with a base speed of over 2 GHz to get the best possible environment, as I've heard iffy things with turbo boost and linux.Originally Posted by Phrea
