What is Turbo Boost?

With Intels introduction of their new Core i5 and i7 gaming processors, they have included exciting new technologies for gaming enthusiasts to benefit from. The basis of this particular technology allows the indivdual processor cores to dynamically increase their core clock freqencies when under intensive circumstances.

Increasing in intervals of 133 MH/z in short periods, this allows each core to reach maximum operating frequencies.

How does this benefit gaming PCs?
By literally overclocking the available cores, this allows the highest performance state of the processor to be reached. With the convergence of Turbo Boost and HyperThreading technologies, multi-threaded games and other simliar activites will operate flawlessly and without interruption.
