INTEL TURBO BOOST TECHNOLOGY
*
Intel Turbo Boost is a feature that speeds up the CPU for a short time. It is similar to overclocking the processor, except within a
framework provided by Intel. This feature provides additional performance and allows the computer to perform certain tasks
more quickly. It also draws additional power and generates additional heat. Therefore, if Turbo Boost is used while powered from
battery, it causes additional stress on the battery.
Using Turbo Boost while powered from battery might impact battery cycle life. Cycle life describes how long the battery will last
before it needs to be replaced. A cycle refers to one complete charge/discharge cycle of the battery. Because Turbo Boost causes
extra stress on the battery, it often shortens the lifetime of the battery.
HP decided not to enable Turbo Boost when powered from battery. This decision was based on the desire to give customers the
greatest battery cycle life possible. Turbo Boost is enabled when powered from AC adapter.
Based on customer requests, HP will provide an option to enable Turbo Boost while powered from battery. For the 2013 platform,
it will be an F10 option. Turbo Boost will be available for devices powered from battery by the end of the year. The additional
performance might cause a slight reduction in battery cycle life, but will not void the battery warranty.
*Implementing Turbo Boost in F10 option is only allowed for batteries over 40WHr. Intel® Turbo Boost technology requires a PC
with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost capability. Intel Turbo Boost performance varies depending on hardware, software and
overall system configuration. See
