How to know if Turbo Boost is enabled (or not): If you don’t want to always be opening your terminal, compile the code, make sure you don’t forget to re-enable it, etc. I’ve started to look for applications, and the only thing I found was this cool kernel extension created by “nanoant”. This is a very simple extension that manipulates the MSR record writing the Turbo Boost flag. and your fans go to max speeds while your CPU keeps crazy ranges like 93 – 98 ✬. If you are like me, you probably do some high cpu demanding tasks from time to time, like photoshop editing, video transcoding, casual gaming, etc. This will reduce your parallel processing performance so, in some situations, you better disable it. Parallel Processing: Turbo Boost is activated (by Intel® internal algorithms) when one of the CPU cores reaches 100%, increasing the core Mhz, but It won’t do it if all or your cores are 100%, since that will create a lot of overheat.Battery Life: When disabling Turbo Boost you will get up to a 25% more of your battery life.With Turbo Boost disabled I’ve been able to get up to 20 ✬ degrees less!!!, that’s a value worth considering. This is controlled by hardware, but if you want your computer to live long, better keep it as low as possible.
