Do you suspect that the situation would be the same with say a 4170, or 4300? I ask because I am building a computer for my parents, and I know that they won't be opening AMD overdrive to enable/disable turbo core everytime they use it, and even though they probably wouldn't notice the throttling, I can't live with it. Hope my question makes sense.
