However, these numbers only tell half the story. In other words, the i7-870 operates between 2.93GHz and 3.46GHz, the i7-860 between 2.8GHz and 3.33GHz, and the i5-750 between 2.66GHz and 3.2GHz.
While the original Turbo Boost would only raise the multiplier by one multiplier (133MHz), we saw all three Lynnfield CPUs increase their frequency by up to four (up to 532MHz). Turbo Boost works by raising the CPU multiplier whenever the CPU isn't running at its maximum TDP - in the case of Lynnfield, that's 95W. Despite the new technology being much better than that of Bloomfield, Intel hasn't given it a new name (well done again, the Intel branding team), so we'll call it Turbo Boost (rev 2).
Turbo BoostIntel had also updated the Turbo Boost technology of Bloomfield for the new Lynnfield design.
