haha, like I have any clue how high the reference clock goes.

I just make the chips, they don't let me play with them

But yeah, as Dr. Who was talking about in another thread. Turbo mode is dynamic overclocking based on how the chip sees itself using it's current thermal headroom. If you make the chip think it has much greater room, assuming you have cooling capable of dissipating the heat, then turbo mode will be active on all cores as long as they're being utilized.
