Processor Turbo Frequency

What is Processor Turbo Frequency?

The Processor Turbo Frequency, also known as the "Turbo Boost" or "Turbo Core" frequency, is the maximum clock speed at which a processor can operate when one or more of its cores are under a heavy workload.

It is usually measured in GHz (gigahertz). The Processor Turbo Frequency is designed to provide additional performance when it is needed, such as during intensive tasks like gaming or video editing. When a processor detects that one or more of its cores is under heavy load, it will automatically increase the clock speed of those cores to the maximum Turbo Frequency that it is capable of, in order to provide a temporary boost in processing power. The Processor Turbo Frequency can vary depending on the specific processor model and the number of cores that are under load. It is important to note that the Processor Turbo Frequency is not sustainable over long periods of time, as it generates more heat and can lead to thermal throttling or damage to the processor if the system is not properly cooled. In general, a higher Processor Turbo Frequency indicates that a processor is capable of providing better performance in demanding applications, but it is not the only factor to consider when comparing the performance of different processors. Other factors such as the Processor Base Frequency, number of cores, and efficiency of the processor architecture should also be taken into account.
