CPU TURBO

The Turbo Boost modes designed by Intel and AMD are a way of delivering high performance in burst workloads without running the CPU at a constant high clock.

Disabling this feature will cause the battery to drain slower and have reduce CPU temperatures. By default Turbo is enabled on all of our machines.

Is worth enabling the Turbo when gaming or when using apps that require a lot of CPU power.

Terminal commands:

turbo-on
turbo-off
turbo-stat

Turbo will be enabled again after restarting or powering on the machine.

Consider using Frequency Boost Switch for GNOME to enable/disable turbo.
