This question already has answers here: Is a higher core count or higher clock speed more beneficial to a computer’s performance? [closed] (5 answers) Closed 7 years ago. First of all, if my English is not good please pardon me. Now the problem; when comparing many CPUs with each other, which factor is the best … Read more
There is a piece of software I’m looking at, which has a minimum requirement of 1.6ghz (Visual Studio 2012) I’m looking at a new computer, and saw the CPU is described as 1.46 Ghz / 2.39 Ghz with Burst So, the clock speed is under the recommended speed, but the burst covers it. I know … Read more
My mobile computer has the following CPU: Intel Core i7-3610QM – 2,30 – 3,30GHz 6MB 45W “Ivy Bridge” As far as I understand is my computer able to speed up to 3,30 GHz? I want to play a game run serious simulations and the software requires the following CPU: Intel Core i5-750, 2.67 GHz Will … Read more
I have 2 identical PCs, i7-4790k, 32GB RAM running Win7 pro. When idle one runs at 4.4GHz (multiplier x44) but the other one (the bad one) show speed of only 4.2GHz (multiplier x42). The matter worsen when CPUs are stressed the good one drops to 4.2GHz (has it should) but the bad one drops to … Read more
I am using two apps; Open Hardware Monitor and CPUID HWMinitor for monitoring various parameters of Motherboard, Processor, Graphic Card and Hard Drive. I noticed that value of a parameter in one app is different from another app. Sometimes it creates confusion. Open Hardware Monitor shows parameters values in two columns (Value & Max) and … Read more
My Intel chip is constantly running at a speed close to its max turbo frequency, even when the machine is relatively idle. I recently had an issue with it running too slowly, and followed this advice, which fixed the slow speed: Shutdown the laptop Unplug it Keep the power button pressed for 45 seconds I … Read more
When I use my Windows 10 laptop while plugged in, my CPU continuously runs at 4GHz, even when idle, causing the laptop to get hot and the fans to ramp up, but on battery power, the CPU’s clock speed is regulated fine and it doesn’t run at 4GHz continuous and overheat. How can I get … Read more

I often have heard people telling they have so and so clock speed. So what does this clock speed mean and does it determine the speed of a system? What is its significance? Answer “Clock speed” is quite simply how often a timer (often a crystal oscillator) tells the CPU to “advance” or go forward. … Read more
I’m not sure this is the right place to ask such question but why not… I use a Toshiba laptop with Intel i5-4210U and my operating system is Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. For some months now, my CPU is constantly running at the turbo boost frequency no matter what programs and processes are currently started. … Read more
