AMD FX-Series Processors Turbo Up to 1GHz over Base Frequency

The AMD Turbo Core 2.0 technology made its release earlier yesterday when the company officially released its first accelerated processing units based on the Llano architecture for Laptops.

According to a slide by Donanim Haber, this technology enables AMD's upcoming FX-Series processors to increase their operating speed by as much as 1GHz, when only half of the cores are active.

This slide that was presented, uses an eight-core CPU to demonstrate how Turbo Core 2.0 works, but this technology will also be available in AMD's quad-core and six-core processor models. As a result, the company officially announced that the first Zambezi FX CPUs won't arrive until August or September of 2011.

Here's that slide:
