The faster your processor runs, the more power it requires and the more heat it generates. So what does all this mean? More importantly: What does it mean for you? First, let’s talk about the purpose of a “base” clock speed.
Intel® calls this Turbo Boost AMD calls it Turbo Core. Most processing units, graphical and computational, now have a base clock speed and a boost speed. The past few years have brought an added wrinkle: Boosting speed. If you’re buying a laptop and can choose the processor you want, you can assume, generally, that the one rated at 2.5 GHz is probably faster than the one rated at 2.3 GHz. Many of those people probably don’t even know what it means (it’s the number of clock cycles-effectively, calculations-a processor completes in one second, in billions referred to as a system’s clock speed), but it’s an easy thing to compare.
Traditionally, pretty much the only thing most consumers look at is its total Gigahertz power. When you’re in the market for a processor, there is a list of things you should be considering.
