Intel introduced Turbo Boost (previously known as "Intel Dynamic Acceleration") in the [[Nehalem]] processor. It allows active cores to be stepped up beyond their usual operating frequency, using cutoffs such as power draw or thermal dissipation. Turbo Boost operates in 133MHz increments on [[Nehalem]], and 100MHz increments on [[Sandy Bridge]]; the Sandy Bridge implementation also uses a more accurate thermal model. Turbo Boost can be used on more than one core at a time; Sandy Bridge typically allows more aggressive Turbo Boosting when multiple cores are active. | |||
