Hello, I just made a thread regarding a laptop I was thinking of buying (Toshiba Satellite Notebook) and I decided to go through with the purchase.

My question pertains to the advertised "2.3 ghz normal, 3.2 ghz turbo processor speed". How do I manage to "turbo" my APU, does it automatically do it when stressed or are there specific options with regards to how you turbo the processor.

Thanks!

Ok thank you, do I presume than when I play games (such as SC2/BF3) it will boost to 3.2?

What AMD does is mostly the same.

In a game, since the integrated graphics are being used heavily and there may be more than one CPU core used heavily (depending on the game, maybe not), I wouldn't expect 3.2 GHz, just more than 2.3 GHz.

Yeah, it is automatic. If it's not needed, it won't go into turbomode

Ok, I was reading online most people are averaging 2.7 to 2.8 which is quality, I don't plan on playing on high graphics whatsoever ^^ just low low graphics.

Thanks everyone^^

The TurboBoost / TurboCore feature increases the speed of the processor when not all cores have work to do. The idea is that a processor comes with a specified maximum power usage, which translates into heat production. This value is called the TDP (Thermal Design Point). The cooling system needs to be designed to handle this TDP value at least. So the processor knows it can use up to the TDP in power. Now if, for a quad-core processor, only 2 cores are needed, then 2 cores are turned off and power consumption goes down considerably. The TurboBoost / TurboCore feature can now kick in and increase the speed of the 2 remaining active cores, keeping power usage below the TDP. The less cores that are needed, the higher this boost can be. Generally, the advertised value only applies when just 1 core is active and the others are turned off.

The entire process is automatic, so you don't have to do anything to get the boost. Note that if you set your notebook in an energy saving mode, clockspeeds may be reduced overall and the turbo may also be disabled to minimize power usage.

I was reading a review about Secret World only getting 24 Frames even though the processor looks good to go and it has 1 gig ram for the GPU portion of the APU. Does anyone know if Secret World specifically is playable (on lowest graphics/settings).
