Two days ago I bought an i7-3770 (3.4GHz, 3.9GHz Turbo). In Linux only works at the base frequency under stress (3.4GHz). Does this problem has to do with what is here discussed?
I hate to see that Windows has more support for intel. Still I can not find how to use Quick Sync in Linux:

Would my Intel? Core? i5-2430M be supported? I think it supports turbo up to 2.8Ghz from its normal 2.4Ghz max.

You might try http://code.google.com/p/i7z/ to monitor your CPU under load.
While other methods are sometimes misleading, it shows (at least for me) that turbo is indeed working...

Thank you very much!!!
I was using cpufreq-info and some widgets for monitoring.
i7z seems properly monitor my i7. It indicates that the turbo is enabled and my i7 is running to 3.7GHz under stress.

Is this with the new drivers reported here? Or an older driver? What driver version are we talking?
