It seems that Asus is not satisfied with the performance improvements that Turbo Core brings, so the company tries out its own Turbo Unlocker technology.

As a part of Asus TurboV EVO software, the technology can boost performance of Phenom II Black Edition as well as 6-core processors.

According to the slides leaked to Donanimhaber, the technology enables the chip to overclock by 500MHz when one single core is active, by 400MHz when two to four cores are active, and by 200MHz when all the six cores are active at the same time.

Take the Phenom II 555 Black Edition for example, the performance gain could be up to 12.22%. Even in 6-core CPU, Turbo Unlocker boost performance still outperforms AMD Turbo Core around 8% in Sandra test.
