T430 i5-3320M should be 3.30 GHz, but BIOS shows 2.60Ghz

#1 Post by serpico » Mon Apr 10, 2017 3:29 pm

Per ThinkWiki (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T430), Core i5-3320M CPU runs at 3.30 GHz.

But BIOS shows 2.60 GHz:

Thinkwiki only shows the max speed after turbo boost technology which is 3.3ghz, while the actual frequency is 2.6ghz

Turbo boost technology. 3.30 Ghz is the maximum self-overclockable turbo speed for single thread. 2.6 is the highest normal clock.
