Intel® Turbo Boost Technology

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is one of the many exciting new features that Intel has built into latest-generation
Intel® microarchitecture (codenamed Nehalem). It automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating
frequency if it's operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.


Dynamically increasing performance As an independent and complimentary feature, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) along with
Intel Turbo Boost Technology increases performance of both multi-threaded and single threaded workloads. Intel Turbo BoostTechnology is activated when the Operating System (OS) requests the highest processor performance state (P0).

The maximum frequency of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is dependent on the number of active cores. The amount of time
the processor spends in the Intel Turbo Boost Technology state depends on the workload and operating environment,
providing the performance you need, when and where you need it.

Any of the following can set the upper limit of Intel Turbo Boost Technology on a given workload:

Number of active cores
Estimated current consumption
Estimated power consumption
Processor temperature
When the processor is operating below these limits and the user's workload demands additional performance, the processor frequency will dynamically increase by 133 MHz on short and regular intervals until the upper limit is met or the maximum possible upside for the number of active cores is reached. Conversely, when any of the limits are reached or exceeded, the processor frequency will automatically decrease by 133 MHz until the processor is again operating within its limits.

Hyper-Threading Technology

Enterprise, online business, and gaming software applications continue to place higher demands on processors. To improve performance in the past, threading was enabled in software by splitting instructions into multiple streams. With today's Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology)¹ you get thread-level parallelism on each processor resulting in more efficient use of processor resources–higher processing throughput–and improved performance on today's multithreaded software.


An Intel processor and chipset used with an OS and BIOS supporting HT Technology allows you to:


# Run demanding desktop applications simultaneously while maintaining system responsiveness.

# Keep systems more secure, efficient, and manageable, while minimizing impact on productivity .

# Provide headroom for future business growth and new solution capabilities .

Better gaming and multimedia::

HT Technology enables gaming enthusiasts to play the latest titles and experience ultra-realistic effects and game play. And multimedia enthusiasts can create, edit, and encode graphically intensive files while running background applications such as virus scan in the background–all without slowing down.



Improving enterprise environments and online business:

With HT Technology, multithreaded server software applications can execute threads in parallel within each processor in a server platform. And with HT Technology in enterprise and e-business environments, businesses can:

* Improve business productivity by doing more at once without slowing down .
* Provide faster response times for Internet and e-Business applications,
enhancing customer experiences .

* Increase the number of transactions that can be processed simultaneously .

* Utilize existing technologies while maintaining future readiness with compatibility for existing 32-bit applications and OSs while being prepared for the future of 64-bit.


Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) requires a computer system with an Intel® Processor supporting Intel HT Technology and an Intel HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use.

What would you do with a billion Intel transistors nestled in our pocket?


If what they said today comes true, we might have a billion transistors efficiently running a system on a chip that puts high speed computer performance and wireless Internet inside many of the things we touch — from our mobile phones and computers to the navigation system in our car.

“The major forces that are shaping the design of silicon have to do with the need for connectivity to the Internet, computer power, and the progress of Moore’s Law,” Intel VP Gadi Singer said, referring to the maxim that chip performance can double every two years or so thanks to manufacturing improvements. That was what Dean Takahashi from Venture Beat wrote in one the first story released from today’s briefing in San Francisco.

Gadi was joined by Intel VP Doug Davis shared new plans for Intel Smart SoC — System on a Chip — and introduced eight brand new embedded chips under its Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor family for security, storage, communications, and industrial robotics. The overall SoC efforts are aimed at traditional computing businesses and several growth areas across Consumer Electronics (CE), Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and embedded markets.

We recorded today’s presentation and will post it on the Intel Pressroom Video/Audio library. I asked Gadi to give a brief summary of the new efforts announced today.

New Smart Chips for Embedded Computing:


Each SoC for embedded computing is based on the Intel Pentium M processor, integrated memory controller hub, and a variety of integrated communications and embedded I/O controllers.

“There is a tremendous opportunity for these smart SoC solutions in the market today as the number of Internet-connected devices reaches into the billions, performance expectations rise and device sizes shrink,” said Doug Davis, vice president of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group and general manager, Embedded and Communications Group. “These products enable our customers to rethink their own innovation and system design around the many benefits of Intel architecture.”



Summary from Intel Smart SoC Presentation:


* Emerging category of smarter, purpose-built SoC Designs. New levels of performance, power efficiency and complexity vs. traditional SoCs.

* Intel’s Smart SoC strategy: Intel architecture,advanced process technology, high performance computing, low power, high complexity expertise & R&D investment.

* >15 projects underway; Future SoCs based on Intel®Atom™processor core; target growth areas.

* Perfectly timed with emerging need for persistently connected Internet devices.

* Introducing our first 8 new products; targeting a broad range of embedded, voice and security applications.
