What is turbo core in the CPU

Turbo Core is a new technology developed by AMD for Intel Core frequency Acceleration technology, which can be understood as automatic overclocking, when the turbo core is turned on, the CPU will automatically adjust the CPU frequency according to the current task amount, thus the maximum performance when the task is heavy, and the maximum energy-saving advantage of the light task.

The similarities and differences between Turbo core and turbo Boost (Core frequency acceleration)

AMD's turbo Core technology is similar to Intel's Turbo Boost technology, although its operating processes are different, but are designed to maximize the frequency of the core in the operation, as far as the TDP allows, to increase CPU productivity. Because AMD does not have power gating technology, AMD uses p-state Power Management state Switch to achieve the effect of controlling core power.

Turbo Boost can directly shield the unused core, while increasing the remaining core speed, the turbo core is to be used to reduce frequency, step-down processing, rather than the actual shutdown, and improve the other core speed, so the power consumption is higher, the effect is less.

In terms of voltage control, turbo Boost is controlled for individual cores, and the turbo core is controlled for the entire CPU and is clearly not short of turbo boost intelligence.
