How does the technology of Intel Turbo Boost, many of you know, not only in theory. Modern desktop systems still do not know how to effectively use all the processor cores – the bulk of the load usually falls on one or two nuclei. Intel company proposed to dynamically increase the frequency of the busiest nuclei that work was done quickly. The level of heat of the processor at the same time must remain within specified limits – in the case of overheating frequency “overclocked” nuclei decreases.

In late December site System Diary Technology News Blog reported that the six-core AMD processors will support the mysterious technology of “C-state performance boost”, the essence of which we were able to clear only now. It turns out that preparing for the announcement of processors Thuban and Zosma can also get support from some analog technology Turbo Boost, which will dynamically overclock the most loaded processor cores. Managing such “acceleration” is implemented in hardware within processors.

How the situation will affect the use of motherboards based on older chipsets, we do not undertake to judge. It is possible that the quad-core processors Zosma this technology will also be supported. Provides for protection against overheating, which will oversee the crackdown, and to limit it if necessary. Transcend TDP processor, this technology does not allow. Of course, in quiescent processor cores will not be dispersed.
