"A couple of you have sent mails about the new "Turbo Mode" as well. It is not like that old button we had. With Nehalem's Turbo Mode, if the processor is in a power saving state on 1, 2, or 3 of the cores, it can actually ramp up the speed of the core(s) that are needed for the application that is being given priority. So given a situation where running ALL cores at speed X creates an unreasonable TDP, running speed X on 1, 2, or even 3 cores may not be an issue."
