I'm not an expert but it looks like turbo does not work, right?

Sending work to 4 procs, turbostat shows: CPU Avg_MHz %Busy Bzy_MHz TSC_MHz I also noticed that my computer became much less noisy on heavy tasks, and it looks like my i7's Turbo boost does not kick in. I've upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and since then I noticed my computer became way slower than before on certain heavy tasks. If you wish to show appreciation for my efforts, mark my post as Accept as Solution.I have a Dell XPS 13 (developer edition) which I bought some years ago with Ubuntu 12.04 preinstalled. Let me know how it goes and you have a great day! Whether the processor enters into Turbo Boost and the amount of time the processor spends in that state depends on the workload and operating environment.įor the fan noise and the video lag issue, I recommend you update the BIOS and the graphics driver from the below link and check whether the issue is resolved. Intel Turbo Boost Technology accelerates processor and graphics performance for peak loads, automatically allowing processor cores to run faster than the rated operating frequency if they’re operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.

reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know how to enable Turbo Boost and also facing multiple issues.ĭon’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
