But in the turbo boost technology, its speed increased up to 4.20 GHz. Another 7 th generation processor Intel Core i5 -7600K is also a quad-core processor and its speed is 3.80 GHz. By Intel Turbo Boost technology its speed can be up to 3.7 GHz. But this will be possible if the power supply and current are within the limit.Īs an example, Intel 7 th generation core i5 -7600T clock speed is 2.80 GHz. This technology enables the processor’s core(s) to run faster to their maximum limit that is more than the configured limit.
Turbo boost technology is an Intel invention that is used in their Core i5 and Core i7 series processors. Intel Turbo Boost technology allows your processor’s core to run at the maximum possible speed to run any specific task.
You can use your PC at a high speed that can be more than your processor clock speed.
Since 2008, as an Intel trademark feature Turbo boost used in Core i5 and Core i7 series processor(s).
I decided to switch governor to see if I can use my cpu to the fullest and run some benchmarks. I vaguely remember using the powersave configuration, so that’s was explaining the low frequency but it was never moving either. My cpu (Ryzen 4700u) comes with a base frequency of 2.0ghz and a max frequency of 4.1 ghz. Was it normal? I did a quick lookup on AMD’s web site. I found nothing special at first then my eyes were locked on the CPU frequency which was indicating 1.4 ghz.
It was a normal evening, I remember doing software updates on my laptop and running btop for any software suspiscious activities. Ubuntu / PopOS / Debian : will be updated soon ? NOTE: If you want to investigate on your machine, I recommend adding the following tools.
