Resolved False advertising.Turbo boost doesn't work at all

[Timur]

Turbo Boost works with the older i7 dual-core CPUs on Windows, so if it doesn't work with the quad-cores it's more likely a firmware issue than a Windows issue.

If Turbo-Boost doesn't work, can I return the Macbook Pro I have not bought yet?


LOL

Turbo boost doesn't seem to work with i7-2620M under OS X and Windows(bootcamp)

(system information from TemperatureMonitor app)

SOLVED

I just installed intel drivers to monitor temperature and voila:

(under windows still not working)

Please, can you link these drivers.. I couldn't find them...

computerbase.de did a recent test on the new 2011 MacBooks as well and they also found out a heating problem that would force the CPU to reduce its speed. They state, that it even happens under normal workload and not only while gaming.
In StarCraft 2 full details the MacBook Air even comes close to the new 15" model, because of the reduced CPU speed
