And this has repercussions for the company.īy the time AMD introduced their first Turbo-enabled processors, everyone in the desktop space ‘knew’ what Turbo meant, because we had gotten used to how Intel did things.
Overclocking (even minor Overclocking) causes the processor to run significantly hotter and draws more power - this is why when Overclocking, you need to make sure the processor can handle the additional stress, but you also need to ensure you have the additional cooling power to maintain the recommended temperature range.With AMD introducing Turbo after Intel, as has often been the case in their history, they've had to live in Intel's world. This can only be done to processors that are designed to be able to run at the higher clock speed (and no, this doesn’t mean a processor that is capable of 4.9 GHz when using Turboboost is capable of running at 4.9 GHz overclocked). This is something that is consistent, when you overclock a processor, it will run at its new base clock speed. That would be the process of taking a processor that has a base clock speed of 3.5 GHz and telling it to run at a higher base clock speed (say, 3.7 GHz to 4.0 GHz). “Overclock” is something that you tell the processor to do. This is the process of the processor fluctuating the speed as needed, this does not mean the processor will run at its Turboboost speed 100% of the time. It doesn’t matter whether the processor (or Motherboard) is able to be overclocked or not, a processor can still enable Turboboost.
It’s something that the processor is automatically programmed to do. “Turboboost” is a technology that most processors have in today’s technology - both Intel and AMD use it - for example, a processor may have a base clock speed of 3.5 GHz, but can clock up to 4.9 GHz in situations when the processor needs the additional speed - this is called Turboboost. “Turboboost” and “Overclocking” are two different technologies.
