wswartzendruber because with most processors, they can't actually handle the turbo frequency on all the cores so it doesn't seem that much different than 4 vs 8 core AMD FX processors from a marketing bullshit perspective.
Is all fine and well until you read the fine print and see that the reality is closer to CochainComplex's terrific car analogy. It's like those "track ready" Corvettes that the owners are suing over. Run that car a lap or two around a track and they get software throttled until they cool down enough. Turbo boost until you get throttled isn't any different.
