You may review/try these recommendations:ġ- Make sure your BIOS is up to date and/or reset BIOS to its defaults. If the processor is able to go beyond the Processor Base Frequency (2.90 GHz) we can say the feature is working within specifications. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology allows the processor cores to run faster than the rated operating frequency if they’re operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is enabled by default, and once enabled, it works automatically under operating system control.
Processors with the same model number running under the same operating conditions may see some frequency or power variance. Good system integration and thermal design are crucial to get the benefits of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.ĭue to varying power characteristics, some parts with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology may not achieve maximum turbo frequencies when running heavy workloads and/or using multiple cores concurrently. There are different factors that have an impact on the achievable speed, for instance, processor temperature, type of workload, active cores, power consumption, environment, platform design, etc. Maximum turbo frequency indicates the highest possible frequency achievable when conditions allow the processor to enter turbo mode. If workload demand is high and there are no physical constraints, then the processor may operate at or close to the turbo frequency. The processor automatically selects the best frequency depending on the workload demand. It is worth mentioning that processors do not run at their maximum frequency all the time.
In regards to this request, the Intel® Core™ i5-10400F Processor has a "Processor Base Frequency" of 2.90 GHz and the "Max turbo frequency" is 4.30 GHz. Hello you for posting on the Intel® communities.
