I discovered this interesting article about Turbo Boost and operating system support.
http://computing-intensive.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-make-turbo-boost- work-under.html It mainly says that, for an OS to support Turbo Boost: 1. The said OS must support ACPI 2. The BIOS in use must support ACPI 3. EIST and Turbo Boost BIOS option must be turned on 4. CState should be set 5. The said OS must turn on its power management features, for both Pstates and Cstates 6. The Pstate entries, P1 should be corresponding to the chip default frequency Someone should check for these features in the linux kernel (mainly 4-6) Windows 7 supports it, why not Ubuntu. -- core i7 i5 (Lynnfield) turbo boost not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429036 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
