Maximum speed is 1.1GHz but runns at 2.5GHZ???

[teddy9264]

On my School Laptop (Not overclocked) Lenovo Yoga 11e it says it has a maximum of 1.1GHz of power but it runs at 2.0GHz to 2.1GHz. Why is that??????

It's called Turbo Boost, all modern Intel CPU's do it. Windows show's your CPU's base frequency at the top, and the actual frequency at the bottom.

The "maximum speed" is actually the base top speed - after that, inte'ls turbo boost can take over and drive one core at a higher frequency. As you can see here, the "burst speed" is 2.2GHz.

What's interesting is that will down is reporting it as a 3 core

1.1GHz is CPU's base (normal) speed. But that doesn't mean your CPU only can reach or run at 1.1GHz. The maximum speed of your CPU (Celeron® N3450) 2.4GHz, so if it runs between 1.1-2.4GHz, it's running normal, but if it keeps running at 2.4GHz (without change), that might cause your laptop or PC overheat.
