I have been using a laptop with 2.3 GHz processor clock speed so far, which has been sufficient for my needs (which peak at some intensive programming, e.g. ML).
I'm looking for a new one right now, and saw a laptop advertised as having "1.0 GHz, up to 3.6 GHz with Turbo boost".
I have no idea how Turbo Boost works. I don't understand what it means for the processor to automatically ramp up its speed when intensive programs are running -- as far as I can tell, any program would work better with a higher processing speed.
(When) can I expect 3.6 GHz performance from this CPU? Or will it be more like running a laptop on battery saving mode?
