Intel Turbo Boost 2 Technology is a feature available on certain processor SKUs that
opportunistically, and automatically, allows the processor to run faster than the marked
frequency if the part is operating below its power, temperature and current limits.
Heatsink performance (lower
factors that can impact the amount of Turbo Mode frequency benefit. Turbo Mode
performance is also constrained by ICC, and V
With Turbo Mode enabled, the processor may run more consistently at higher power
levels (but still within TDP), and be more likely to operate above T
compared to when Turbo Mode is disabled. This may result in higher acoustics.
