Thanks to Turbo Boost Max 3.0 and Thermal Velocity Boost, the CPU's fastest core(s) can reach speeds up to 5.3 GHz, enhancing performance in lightly-threaded games. Multithreaded applications benefit from both TVB and Adaptive Boost, which enable an all-core turbo frequency up to 5.1 GHz. In addition to improving battery life or promoting energy efficiency, another benefit of Turbo Boost is that it increases the lifespan of hardware components and the overall computer. Note that higher clock speeds consume more power and, thus, produce more heat. Overall, it has to be said that in some cases, Turbo Boost will let the game reach a higher FPS; but maybe only a 10-20 FPS boost. Moreover, if you disable the Intel Turbo Boost, it will hurt your gaming performance and other performances. Resolution. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 accelerates processor and graphics performance for peak loads, automatically allowing processor cores to run faster than the rated operating frequency if they're operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
