This won't happen. You have to build your processors to clock to the worst case scenario and still stay under TDP.

When you buy a car you pay for brakes that can stop the car at 120MPH, even though you rarely drive over 60. You could probably cut down a lot of cost on the car if you only had to design to what people actually drive. But as long as the car can do 120MPH, you have to build brakes that will stop it. And those cost more.

If we did what you were asking for, we could build, for instance, a 4GHz processor that only goes up to 3.5GHz in some workloads. Worst of all, you might not know until you actually run your workload on it. People want absolutes and the only way to deliver that is by having a high characterization. Turbo CORE lets you unlock the rest of the potential.
