Does the 2600K's Turbo Boost allow all four cores to reach 3.8Ghz or just one at a time when needed?

taken from a certain canuck website u know, that competes with [hard]On Sandy Bridge processors, Turbo can provide a 400Mhz speed boost in single-threaded workloads, 300Mhz in dual-threaded workloads, 200Mhz in triple-threaded workloads, and 100Mhz in applications that utilize four threads or more

Pictures speak louder than words.

Idk about Gigabyte but have no problem running 2133 with stepped turbo on Asus. As much as I'd like to run 4 cores at 50x the cooling isn't up to it so I run 46,47,48,50.
LOL my whole chip runs at 4.8ghz - Turbo is one of the gayest dumbshit technologies I have ever seen. Just another marketing ploy. Just oc manually.
Anyways pricing has been released on SDB-E so I will be handing this little 2600K that could off on someone who doesnt care to pay a grand for a chip.
Turbo implementation with SB is great. It's not that relevant if you're using a P67/Z68 with a K series AND high end air cooling or water. But that's an small, small group. It makes a huge difference in laptops and small form factors as well as HTPCs. Plus, if you don't like it you can just turn it off. Turbo is really just a method to get a workload done faster so the system agent can drop the voltage and clocks down to idle as soon as possible. It's not just marketing, but a really good idea for mainstream laptops and desktops. Plus, in a good UEFI/BIOS, users have a great deal of control over the process. AMDs Turbo version in Thuban didn't work so hot -- that was really just marketing, cause it never worked right.
that's pretty cryptic. Could you please elaborate?
Is going from the LFM direct to turbo on load a bad idea, IMHO no.
