ASUS Develops Own Technology to Rival AMD Turbo Core and Intel Turbo Boost (http://www.overclockaholics.com/120454/ASUS_Develops_Own_Technology_to_Rival_AMD_Turbo_Co re_and_Intel_Turbo_Boost.html)
ASUS designed its own technology (http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/#) comparable to AMD's Turbo Core, the ASUS Turbo Unlocker. The technology is claimed to be more advantageous than Turbo Core, since it sends every core into Boost state, rather than a limited number of cores designated as turbo cores. What's more, it supports several other Phenom II Black Edition series processors other than those based on the six-core Thuban or the quad-core Zosma. With single-threaded loads, the active core is given the maximum boost in clock speeds, while as multi-threaded load increases, even more number of cores enter a boost state. Boost state speeds decrease with increase in number of active cores. The technology is available on ASUS' entire range of motherboards based on the AMD 8-series chipsets. Details follow in a presentation by ASUS. It would be interesting to see if ASUS goes a step further and works out Turbo Unlocker for Intel (http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/#) Core i3 processors.

Interesting stuffs

Indeed interesting, especially if it means we can somehow grab an extra multi or two instead of a bclk boost on intel..... asus turbo on top of intel turbo.... twin turbo? :ohcrap:
