FX-8350 turbo

[nicehat]

When I turbo from 4 to 4.2, does this entail one out of the four modules OC'ing up to 4.2? 

 

Or

 

Does it mean that one core (so 1/2 of one module) turbos up to 4.2.

Please cite some literature for further reading if you think you have the right answer. Id really like to know more!

IIRC it's half, (3 or 4?) cores active in AMD turbo mode. 

 

too lazy, cba to cite. 

 

There also seems to be a middle-ground turbo core clock where all cores are in a turbo state, but I don't believe FX chips do that.

When i use cpuz or another software, itnwill read 4.2 on al, cores while gaming, so i assume its correct.

Sorry if my contribution was minimal, Im not verybexperienced with cpu overclocking and core details aling with virual cores or whatever.

It should be half of the cores
