Why? It’s not like turbo is not a real performance enhancement. With enough thermal headroom, there’s no reason why turbo can’t be sustained, as heat is the limiting factor.
Good CPU reviews include long render and compile benchmarks that would suffer if the turbo performance couldn’t be sustained. If a CPU can sustain high performance, then it doesn’t matter if it’s using a turbo mode.
- Aissen 4y agoIt's all about the "With enough thermal headroom". If this isn't specified in the benchmark, then the benchmark is useless because you can't compare with your setup. It's even truer in laptops, but this is true of servers and desktops as well. In addition, recent CPUs will use this thermal headroom to the limit.
