Intel® Turbo Boost Technology can potentially increase CPU speeds up to the Max Turbo Frequency while staying within safe temperature and power limits. This is sometimes called “algorithmic overclocking”. But when more speed is needed, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the clock rate to compensate. Running at a lower clock rate (the number of cycles executed by the processor every second) allows the processor to use less power, which can reduce heat and positively impact battery life in laptops. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is an energy-efficient solution to this imbalance: it lets the CPU run at its base clock speed when handling light workloads, then jump to a higher clock speed for heavy workloads. Some programs are more dependent on memory to run smoothly, while others are CPU-intensive. Note:Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 may not be available on all SKUs.How Does Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Work?ĬPUs don’t always need to run at their maximum frequency.
Thus, thermal solutions and platform cooling that are designed to less than thermal design guidance might experience thermal and performance issues since more applications will tend to run at the maximum power limit for significant periods of time. The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 feature is designed to increase the performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.Ĭompared with previous generation products, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 will increase the ratio of application power towards Processor Base Power (a.k.a TDP) and also allows to increase power above Processor Base Power (a.k.a TDP) as high as PL2 for short periods of time. The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows the processor IA core/processor graphics core to opportunistically and automatically run faster than the processor IA core base frequency/processor graphics base frequency if it is operating below power, temperature, and current limits.
