Hi all,

I've got an 'ultrabook' with ivy bridge core i5 3427u 1.8ghz and have been using intels turbo tech. monitor tool to watch turbo on windows 7 home 64bit.

A couple of times I have seen it report my processor at 3.2ghz for a couple of seconds, then 3ghz, then normal. Other times it behaves as expected (2.6ghz under a light load, and 2.8ghz on single thread)

Surely this is too much? this is 14 "bins" (@ +100mhz = 1400mhz) or a 78% boost.

Wondering if this was a bug or other users have seen this behavior where the processor can actually turbo higher than their official specs??
