Turbo Boost is Intel's proprietary technology for automatic computer. In this mode, it exceeds the nominal performance indicators, but only up to the “critical” level of heating temperature limits and consumed powers.

Features of activating turbo mode on laptops

Laptops can run on two sources: from the mains and batteries. When powered from a battery, the OS, in order to increase the operating time (by default), “tryes” to reduce energy consumption, including by reducing (CPU). Therefore, the inclusion of turbo mode on a laptop has a number of features..

In older models, the device BIOS had options to enable and configure this mode. Now, manufacturers are trying to minimize the possibility of user intervention in the operation of the CPU, and often this parameter is missing. Technology can be activated in two ways:

• Through the interface operating system.
• Through BIOS.

How to enable Turbo Boost through the Windows interface

You can influence the state of the turbo mode by setting the desired values ​​in the parameters "Minimum processor state" and "Maximum processor state" in the current power plan:

• In the next section, click on the link "Change Extra options nutrition".
• In the drop-down list of the "Power Options" dialog, we find the item "CPU Power Management".

Activate turbo mode via BIOS

This option to enable Turbo Boost on a laptop is suitable for advanced users. It is based on resetting all BIOS settings to default values:

• Let's go to the BIOS.
• At the end of the menu we find the section "Load Default".
• Reset all settings.

To monitor the state of the turbo mode, you can use the utility Intel Turbo Boost Technology Monitor.

Introduction

I remember a computer that I bought back in 1998. It used a Pentium II 233 processor on an Intel Deschutes core with motherboard Asus P2B. The system was fast, but I wanted to do something more interesting with it. And I started by installing a third party cooler. Now I don’t remember exactly what performance potential I was able to squeeze out, but I remember that it seemed insufficient to me. At some point, I opened the plastic cartridge of the slot processor and started experimenting with Peltier coolers to get more better cooling. In the end, I got a stable running processor at 400 MHz - at the same level as the most expensive models at the time, but significantly cheaper.

Of course, today overclocking gives a much more significant increase than 166 MHz. But the principles remain the same: we take a processor running at stock clock speeds, and then we squeeze the maximum out of it, trying to achieve the performance of high-end and more expensive models. With a little effort, you can quite easily get a sub-$300 Core i7-920 to perform at the $1,000 Core i7-975 Extreme performance without sacrificing reliability.

How about automatic overclocking?

Overclocking in general has always been a tricky issue for AMD and Intel, who don't officially support this practice, and void warranties if the CPU showed signs of tampering. However, in public, both manufacturers are trying to gain the trust of enthusiasts by offering overclocking utilities, supporting aggressive BIOS settings, and even selling processors with an unlocked multiplier. However, advanced users always knew that free cheese happens only in a mousetrap, so killing the CPU is too great tension included in the acceptable risks.

But with the advent of Turbo Boost technology on the Intel Core i7 processors for LGA 1366 and the subsequent release of a more aggressive implementation with the Core i5 and Core i7 processors for LGA 1156, Intel implemented its own smart overclocking technology that takes into account several different factors: voltage, current, temperature and P-states of the operating system associated with the load on the CPU.

By monitoring all of these parameters, the Intel Embedded Management System can improve performance by increasing the clock speed in situations where the processor's maximum thermal package (TDP) is not reached. By turning off unused cores and thus reducing power consumption, the processor frees up more capacity for single-threaded workloads, slightly less for two active threads, even less for three loaded cores, and so on. As a result, Intel's "automatic overclocking" is an elegant and consistent way to increase performance without exceeding the TDP of any given processor (130W for the Intel Bloomfield processor and 95W for the Lynnfield processor).

Can you do better?

When we discovered that the Core i7-860 and -870 processors accelerate to an impressive 667 MHz in single-threaded applications, we began to ask ourselves the question: should an advanced user overclock the processor themselves, risking ruining a good CPU, or can we just rely on a dynamic Intel overclocking? No, we don't want to appear lazy. Let's hope that there really are tangible benefits for enthusiasts that provide better performance. But we still don't want to forget the efforts made by Intel engineers in trying to optimize Nehalem for balanced performance in single- and multi-threaded applications.

We decided on a little experiment: we took the Core i5-750 and Core i7-860 processors, overclocked each of them, and then compared the results of the two processors at stock frequencies with and without Turbo Boost enabled. Of course, we have Intel samples in our lab, but we cannot reliably consider them to be representative of retail models. So we bought both processors from Newegg just to make sure they match. We considered using the "box" Intel cooler, but in the end we figured that we would never get 4 GHz or more unless we purchased a third-party cooler. Therefore, for tests, we took the Thermalright MUX-120 model.

Getting ready for comparison

Processors

As already mentioned, we used retail versions of the Core i5-750 and Core i7-860 processors in our experiment - the two models that seem to be of most interest to enthusiasts. The i5-750 is a $200 processor that can reliably run at 4GHz or higher, while the i7-860 is a $300 alternative with Hyper-Threading support, a base clock of 2.8GHz, and an additional Turbo Boost step on a single active thread .

Why didn't we take core processor i7-920? This is also a very interesting option, especially if you are planning to build high-end game system and you need extra lines PCI Express 2.0 that have Intel chipset X58. But at about the same price as the Core i7-860, the i7-920 processor adds a third memory channel, loses 133MHz of base clock speed, and provides a less aggressive Turbo Boost mode. In addition, buying a processor for the LGA 1366 means purchasing an expensive motherboard on Intel X58. Lynnfield and P55 are more suitable for those enthusiasts who are interested in the optimal price / performance ratio of the new assembly.

Motherboard

Our choice of motherboard will puzzle some users, but we chose the Intel DP55KG for several reasons.

Let's start with the technical ones: we originally planned to use our motherboard Asus Maximus III formula. But after upgrading the board to latest version BIOS published on the company's website, it stopped working stably with our retail CPU and Corsair Dominator memory kit. Probably we were just unlucky, so we took the mother Gigabyte board P55A-UD6 which worked great with active function Turbo Boost, but didn't perform as well with Turbo Boost disabled. The tests were successful, but when launching applications and while navigating Windows, it felt like we were not facing a powerful machine, but a ten-year-old Pentium II.

Therefore, in search simple solution, we switched to the Intel DP55KG motherboard, which performed well in last testing models on Intel P55. If any motherboard was supposed to work as expected, it's its own intel model enthusiast-oriented. As you might expect, the Kingsburg motherboard did the job, so we continued with the tests.

Then we tried to eliminate bottlenecks. video card ATI Radeon The HD 5850 is great for the budget-conscious enthusiast, while the 160GB SSD Intel 2nd generation minimizes problems with the storage subsystem. Two 2GB Corsair DDR3-1600 Dominator GT DDR3-2200 8-8-8 modules allowed us to run DDR3-1600 clocks without any stability issues.

Test configuration

Tests and settings

Our first test results are already quite interesting. We observe that turbo technology Boost gives a minimal performance boost to the overall PCMark Vantage score. Meanwhile, overclocking leads to a significant gap between both processors. The Turbo Boost feature proved to be much more effective in both the TV and Movies and Productivity tests, although overclocking gives even more gains in both cases, as you might expect.

Interestingly, the Hyper-Threading technology provides a minimal advantage - we see this in all test runs of this package. Of course, this package relies on features built into Windows 7, so it's likely that operating system components aren't as well optimized for Hyper-Threading as Microsoft is trying to make us believe.

Turbo Boost technology has very little effect on the overall 3DMark Vantage results, but at least gives a tangible advantage in the CPU test. In GPU benchmarks, we don't see a noticeable effect. However, manual overclocking in GPU tests also has little effect. But this is not surprising. Both CPUs are fast enough not to become a "bottleneck" for our single Radeon video cards HD 5850, so we expect very little performance gain in games after increasing the CPU clock speed.

This synthetic test showed a significant increase due to Hyper-Threading technology in the CPU run, which corresponds to the increase after manual overclocking, namely the quad-core i5-750 at 4 GHz equals the performance of the i7-860 at stock clock speeds with Turbo Boost. Well, we have yet to see how well these results will match real world applications.

The most significant increase after overclocking is observed in the Dhrystone iSSE4.2 test, where Hyper-Threading has little effect. In the Whetstone iSSE3 test, we see that the 4 GHz Intel Core i5-750 cannot reach the Core i7-860 running at the stock 2.8 GHz.

The multimedia benchmarks also show that Turbo Boost technology does not provide a significant boost, but we get a performance increase after overclocking both CPUs to 4 GHz. Hyper-Threading plays an important role in both test runs, which is also interesting since we expected Turbo Boost to have a more significant impact in the actual tests.

At stock clock speeds throughput memory almost does not change when Turbo Boost is enabled or disabled. This is because Turbo Boost only affects the processor multiplier, leaving the base clock speed BCLK unchanged (and therefore the memory divider does not change).

But when we overclock the processors by increasing the base BCLK frequency (since our CPUs have a locked multiplier), the memory bandwidth also increases, which we see in the results of the SiSoftware Sandra 2010 Bandwidth test.

We have updated our test package to the latest version. Apple iTunes(9.0.2.25), but the behavior of the program has not changed. It is still poorly optimized for multithreading, so Hyper-Threading technology in this case only harms.

On the other hand, loading just one core causes Turbo Boost to noticeably improve performance in iTunes. The same can be said about the manual overclocking of both chips up to 4 GHz. It's nice to see that the theory is confirmed by practice.

Unfortunately, iTunes is the exception in our test suite, which is dominated by applications with good multithreading support. Let's see how they behave.

MainConcept can use as many threads as it has available. Even with Turbo Boost disabled, the Core i5-750 runs at 2.66 GHz, while the i7-860 runs at 2.8 GHz. While this test stresses all four cores, running within the TDP and temperature limits means we get one step (133MHz) when Turbo Boost is enabled, which is why both processors perform better with this feature.

More than Turbo Boost, the Hyper-Threading feature gives the Core i7-860 a significant advantage over the i5-750 - good evidence that for multi-threaded applications it really makes sense to pay extra for the Hyper-Threading feature.

However, overclocking minimizes the difference between the two CPUs. At a frequency of 4 GHz, both processors cope with the work much faster than at standard frequencies. Of course, with the Core i5, we see a more significant percentage increase, since this processor does not receive multi-thread acceleration at stock frequencies due to the lack of Hyper-Threading.

Let's move on to the results of the DivX codec, which is well optimized for multithreading, as well as the Xvid codec, which is not so well optimized.

As you might expect, the Xvid codec does not provide an advantage (in fact, even loses) due to the active Hyper-Threading technology on the Core i7-860 compared to the Intel i5-750. However, Turbo Boost speeds up the execution of the task on both CPUs.

Interestingly, DivX doesn't benefit too much from Hyper-Threading either, suggesting a four-thread limit. In our case, the Core i7-860 is only slightly faster. And both processors get a substantial boost from overclocking - enough to say manual overclocking is in the best possible way to speed up performance in multi-threaded applications, and you will not get such a strong increase from Turbo Boost.

handbrake- new program in our test package. it free utility, which can benefit from multithreading support. In our test, we converted the first .vob file of The Last Samurai movie to .mp4 format.

Since the utility supports multi-threading, the Turbo Boost function has little effect. But, again, it's interesting to see that Hyper-Threading does not have the same serious effect as, for example, we saw in the SiSoftware Sandra or 3DMark Vantage packages. real way The increase in performance comes from manual overclocking - we get a significant performance boost by increasing the frequency of our test CPUs to 4 GHz.

Our Adobe Photoshop CS4 test consists of several multi-threaded filters applied to a .TIF image. Therefore, it is not surprising that Turbo Boost technology gives minimal effect. Hyper-Threading is also not very noticeable.

But what really helps increase the performance of Photoshop CS4 is the clock speed. The Core i7-860 at 2.8 GHz performs slightly better than the Core i5-750 at 2.66 GHz, and Turbo Boost gives 133 MHz to both processors. At 4 GHz, both processors demonstrate comparable results, which are much higher than those without overclocking.

We were puzzled by the behavior of AVG 9 antivirus, which no longer scales so well after upgrading from AVG 8.5. However, starting the task manager during the test clarifies the situation. When the scanner is running, it consumes, at best, 10% of the processor resources. We tested the antivirus on dual-processor chips and on Atom platforms - performance really slows down if you reduce the number of cores and lower the clock speed. However, the Core i5-750 and Core i7-860 perform at a very close level, so we can say that their performance in AVG 9 is identical.

3ds Max 2010 benefits from both Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost technologies. Overclocking remains the best way to get the best performance from this program. The Core i5-750 shows an advantage at 4GHz due to its 200MHz BCLK base frequency, which is 10MHz higher than the i7-860's 190MHz at 4GHz.

This archiver is well optimized for multithreading (which cannot be said about Hyper-Threading support). WinRAR gives a minimal speed boost from Turbo Boost technology, since all four cores are active. Turning off Turbo Boost completely reduces the frequency of each CPU by 133 MHz at full load, so this technology still helps a little.

However, when both processors operate at 4 GHz, the performance is comparable (and significantly faster than at stock frequencies).

As you can see, the compression speed (in KB/s) scales proportionally not only to the clock speed, but also to the number of available cores. In fact, the 4GHz Core i5-750 can't even reach the 2.8GHz Core i7-860 with Turbo Boost disabled.

Since this archiver is well optimized for multithreading, Turbo Boost has little effect. Hyper-threading adds a bit of performance, and overclocking again gives a serious victory.

3D games

Crysis at all three resolutions tested showed negligible gains from Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading, or overclocking.

This game appeared in our test package recently. Unlike Crysis, which heavily stresses the graphics subsystem, Left 4 Dead 2 scales more efficiently with CPU performance (assuming you have a graphics card as powerful as our Radeon HD 5850, of course).

We can see that the 133 MHz auto-boost due to Turbo Boost technology helps a little at low resolutions, but Hyper-Threading doesn't affect it at all. Overclocking gives a noticeable increase in resolutions of 1680x1050 and 1920x1200. However, all these gains are no longer observed, it is worth turning on anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. As with Crysis, performance starts to level off whether your system is running a Core i5-750 at 2.66GHz or a Core i7-860 at 4GHz.

We will not be holding full set game tests, because there is no point. In our third and final Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 gaming test, we see that CPU performance doesn't always match gaming performance. This popular game isn't the best for testing, but a 60-second run of Act II: The Gulag shows us that Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading, and even overclocking to 4GHz don't result in framerate increases.

Now comes an interesting moment. If it were possible to tune all processors to run up to 4 GHz without changing all other variables, then our recommendations based on performance tests would already be obvious. Alas, this is not so.

The good news is that you can raise the voltage on each processor, increase their frequency to 4 GHz, and then get quite a modest idle power consumption. The Enhanced SpeedStep technology was implemented properly on the Intel DP55KG motherboard even when the base BCLK frequency was set to 200 or 190 MHz, which means that both of our test processors dropped clock speeds without load. Of course, we see a slight increase in power consumption in both cases, but it is two or three watts, which can be ignored.

The PCMark Vantage run graph on the Intel Core i5-750 shows a completely different picture when the processor is running under load. On the graph you will find three lines: the green one represents our i5-750 run with Turbo Boost completely disabled, the red one is the power consumption with Turbo Boost enabled, and the blue one is the power consumption of the platform when the processor is overclocked to 4 GHz using a base frequency of 200 MHz BCLK and voltage 1.45 V.

It is quite clear that the inclusion of Turbo Boost leads to an increase in power consumption. But it's much lower than the overclocking and voltage boost required to keep our 2.66GHz processor stable at 4GHz.

Average power consumption without Turbo Boost was 115W for the entire run. After turning on Turbo Boost, the average power consumption increased to 120 watts. After overclocking to 4 GHz, it increased to 156 watts, and at the same time we finished the test just 28 seconds faster.

Conclusion

As a result, our study of the benefits of Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading and good old overclocking gave us something to think about.

The first thing we learned is that Turbo Boost technology is most effective at improving the performance of applications that are poorly optimized for multithreading. Today, there are fewer and fewer such applications, but we still have a couple of programs that get a serious performance boost after turning on Turbo Boost. We also noticed a constant small boost after turning on Turbo Boost, even in multi-threaded applications, which is associated with one step of acceleration when using four cores. All in all, the intelligent overclocking built into Nehalem-based processors gives Intel a competitive advantage over AMD and its own Core 2 line in applications such as iTunes, WinZip and Lame. Turbo Boost no longer affects the performance of MainConcept, HandBrake, WinRAR and 7zip - efficiently written applications that can fully load quad-core processors due to their parallelism.

There is even less sense from Hyper-Threading, but, again, we can give a couple of examples when this technology performs well in real conditions. Video transcoding applications, for example, can take advantage of Hyper-Threading and reduce task execution time. That said, there's every reason why we'd recommend the Core i5-750. This processor costs nearly $100 less than the Core i7-860, yet delivers nearly the same level of performance with minimal impact in properly optimized programs. Before us is a kind of modern version of the famous Celeron 300A, which worked reliably at 450 MHz.

The biggest victory was still won by manual overclocking. Of course, we appreciate new feature Turbo Boost in Core i5 and Core i7 processors, but it's important to emphasize that the benefit of this technology is most evident in single-threaded applications (and this benefit is slowly fading away as developers begin to take full advantage of modern multi-core architectures). If the load on the processors is full, then the advantage of Turbo Boost is no longer so significant. Meanwhile, the boost that overclocking provides shows itself constantly, regardless of whether you fire up iTunes or HandBrake. Yes, and today is a great time to become an overclocking enthusiast: affordable 45nm processors can easily be overclocked to 4GHz, and recently released 32nm processors can be overclocked to 4.5GHz and higher.

Of course, there are some subtleties associated with changing the standard parameters. First, risk must be considered. Running a processor at 4 GHz at 1.45 V is not that dangerous (even with air cooled), but if the processor burns out, then you can not change it under warranty. Moreover, power consumption under load increases significantly if you increase the clock frequency and voltage. Luckily, the motherboard we were using correctly reduced power consumption and clock speed during inactivity.

Finally, we should remind our readers that it does not make much sense for a gamer to invest in an expensive processor. From a $200 Core i5-750 to a $300 Core i7-860, you'll get the same frame rate at most resolutions unless you invest in a more expensive graphics card configuration.

In very simple terms, Turbo Boost is the ability to increase the frequency of one or more actively used processor cores at the expense of the rest that are not currently used. Unlike banal overclocking (for example, by changing the frequency multiplier in the BIOS), Turbo Boost is an intelligent technology.

First, the increase in frequency occurs depending on the current load of the computer and the nature of the tasks performed. For example, for fast work single-threaded applications, it is important to speed up one core as much as possible (others are idle anyway). For multi-threaded tasks, you will need to "force" several cores.

Secondly, unlike the same overclocking, Turbo Boost remembers the limits of power, temperature and current as part of the calculated power (TDP, thermal design power). In other words, overclocking with Turbo Boost does not go beyond the normal operating conditions of the processor (all these indicators are constantly measured and analyzed), does not threaten overheating and, therefore, does not require additional cooling.

System runtime in Turbo mode Boost is dependent on workload, operating conditions, and platform design.

Overclocking subtleties

Let's make a reservation right away that frequency changes using Turbo Boost technology occur discretely. The minimum unit for up or down frequency of one or more active cores is a step, which has a value of 133.33 MHz. Please note that the frequency for all active cores changes simultaneously and always by the same number of steps.

Consider the operation of Turbo Boost technology using the following example.

AT this moment in a quad-core processor, two cores are active and their frequency must be increased. The system raises the frequency of each of them by one step (+133.33 MHz) and checks the current, power consumption and temperature of the processor. If the indicators are within the TDP, the system tries to increase the frequency of each of the active cores by one more step until it reaches the set limit.

If increasing the frequency of each of the two active cores by one more step (+133.33 MHz) leads the system to go beyond the standard thermal package (TDP), the system automatically lowers the frequency of each core by one step (-133.33 MHz) to return normal condition. As mentioned above, it is impossible to change the frequency of active nuclei individually. That is, in principle, a situation is not possible when the frequency of one active core changes by one step, and the frequency of the other - by two steps.

Turbo Boost technology is supported by desktop and mobile processors Intel Core i5/i7 but different models may have different modes of operation. For example, the Intel Core i5 600 series and Core i7 900 series mobile and desktop processors, and the Core i7 Extreme Edition have the following operating modes.

Good afternoon, dear audience. Today we will try to convey to you what a turbo boost is in a processor and for what purposes it is used. We are sure that many of you have heard about this technology, but have no idea how it works.

The Turbo Boost function was developed by Intel for its own chips to optimize the functionality of the chips and add performance to them without the need for overclocking.

Many people think that the technology applies to the CPU as well. manufactured by AMD, but they are wrong: the red mode is called Turbo Core.

How does it work?

In simple terms, turbo boost mode is an automatic increase in the frequency of active cores due to those that are idle at the time of operation. Unlike manual overclocking, by changing the system bus in the BIOS, the technology under review is of an intelligent nature.

The increase is determined by the task performed and current download PC. In the single-threaded computing mode, the main core accelerates to the maximum allowed values, by borrowing the potential of the rest (others are idle anyway). If the entire processor is included in the work, then the frequencies are distributed evenly.

The process also affects cache memory, RAM and disk space.

Turbo Boost mode also "remembers" the following system limitations:

• temperatures at peak load;
• limiting the heat dissipation of a particular motherboard;
• increasing performance without increasing voltage.

In other words, if your PC is built on a motherboard with a TDP of 95W, and the CPU is running at 1.4V, while the cooling system is boxed (standard), then the turbo boost function will increase the power of the CPU in such a way as to fit into existing restrictions and do not go beyond the temperature limits.

Frequency escalation principle

We figured out what the function does. Now let's describe HOW she does it. The procedure is always performed according to a single scenario: the system sees how the cores (1 or more) are actively working in the processor and cannot cope with the load, i.e. need to increase the frequency. Boost increases the value of each of them strictly by 133 MHz (step) and checks the following parameters:

• voltage;
• heat pack;
• temperature.

If the indicators are not out of range, then the system throws in another 133 MHz (one more step) and re-checks the indicators. When the allowed TDP is exceeded, the stone starts to reduce the frequency separately on each core by a standard step until it reaches the maximum allowable values.

Differences between Turbo Boost 2.0 and 3.0

If version 2.0 supports a systematic increase in the operating values ​​of all processor cores, depending on the tasks being performed, then more new version 3.0 defines the most efficient cores to maximize their operating frequencies in single-threaded computing.

The second point is CPU support. The second version works on all chips of the Core i5 and i7 family, regardless of generation. The third is supported only by the following chips:

• Core i7 68xx/69xx;
• Core i9 78xx/79xx;
• Xeon E5-1600 V4 (single socket only).

Results

If you don't need to overclock your processor on a regular basis, but have an Intel i5 or i7 chip, you can count on smart overclocking in work apps and toys if the system deems this step necessary.

At the same time, you don’t have to worry about buying a motherboard with overclocking support, know all the intricacies of heat dissipation, as well as the moments associated with overclocking.

Well, if you are considering a purchase in the near future, then I recommend you this one online shop because it is proven and popular).

In the following articles, we will try to highlight such a moment as in processors, and the effect of solder on the possibility of overclocking the system. So, build your dream PC.

Technology Intel Turbo Boost allows you to automatically increase the processor clock frequency above the nominal, if this does not exceed the power, temperature and current limits of the specification as part of the rated power (TDP). This leads to an increase in the performance of single-threaded and multi-threaded applications.
