hi guys..i want to ask something...

when we are playing dual core optimize games using core i7 quad cores, only 2 cores will be used and the other 2 will just be in idle state rite?

at this moment, do turbo boost will overclock those 2 working cores, making its clock speed higher?

i dont have the core i7, but it is nice to know about this. thank you

owh..thanks for the explanation, so the turbo boost will only works if there is no any other application is using the other 2 cores?but that's is very unlikely..lol

so thats explain why core i5 and i7 620m perform much better in most games.

thanks a lot.

so it means my p8700 still relevant for today's standard rite?or no?lol

thanks a lot astria and fantasia, u guys have been a great help for me in understanding this intel stuff
