Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 identifies the core with the best performance and delivers increased power to that core by boosting the clock frequency as needed, utilizing power and temperature reserves.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases a processor's frequency as required, leveraging temperature and power reserves to provide more speed or greater energy efficiency.
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enables two processing threads per physical core. Multi-threaded applications can complete more tasks in parallel and finish tasks faster.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is an advanced functionality designed for mobile devices that require a combination of high performance with minimal energy consumption. Traditional Intel SpeedStep Technology adjusts voltage and frequency between high and low values based on processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology builds on this architecture and employs design strategies such as separating voltage and frequency changes, as well as clock partitioning and recovery.
