Turbo Boost is automatic. It doesn’t start at 5.1GHz right after the computer is turned on. Instead, the computer will automatically adjust the frequency according to its own needs.
How Turbo Boost Works
Turbo Boost technology enables the processor to automatically increase its operating frequency beyond the base frequency when higher performance is required. It’s an intelligent and dynamic adjustment mechanism.
When the computer boots up, the processor usually runs at the base frequency. Because during the startup stage and when handling some simple system initialization tasks, a high frequency isn’t necessary to complete these operations. For example, when loading the basic drivers and services of the operating system, a lower frequency is sufficient to handle these tasks with lighter loads while also saving energy.
Basis for Automatic Adjustment
The computer will automatically adjust the frequency according to the workload. When running software that demands high processor performance, such as large-scale games, professional video editing software, 3D modeling software, etc., the processor will detect these high-load tasks. To process data more quickly, improve the system’s response speed and the running efficiency of the software, the processor will automatically increase the frequency. To reach 5.1 GHz (assuming this is the Turbo Boost frequency of the processor) to meet the requirements of the task.
For example, during video rendering, the processor needs to quickly process a large amount of image data and perform complex calculations. Turbo Boost technology allows the processor to increase its frequency within a short period, speeding up the rendering process and thus shortening the overall rendering time.
