GodlyManDude540 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 So i was looking at laptops with the the i7 920 in them and they all say its 1.6Ghz and 2.8Ghz in turbo mode and I cannot find any info on how this turbo mode works does it clock up when needed?

rourkchris Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showd...?i=3647&p=3 According to the article Core i7 Mobile Processors-Intel Turbo Boost Technology-Dynamically dials-up the core frequency when single/lighter threaded applications demand more performance and TDP headroom exists.

rourkchris Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I think it will downclock itself if it gets to a certain temperature threshold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodlyManDude540 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Thats what i was thinking So I was looking at the alienware m15x and for what I want its going to be $2074 I have heard good things about i have heard good things about it but would i just be paying for the name or do you think it would be worth it. I need a laptop for photo and video editing and maybe a little gamming but thats what the desktop is for. oh and I was looking at the mac book pro and its around the same price but id rather not go mac Edited September 25, 2009 by GodlyManDude540 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
