What's new in i7 Turbo 6.92
Jul 2, 2010
- I've been tweaking i7 Turbo to better support the Core 2 mobile CPUs that have the Intel Dynamic Acceleration (IDA) / turbo boost feature as well as Super Low Frequency Mode (SLFM).
- These include models like the early T7100, T7300, T7500, T7700 and the more recent P8000 and T9000 series.
- The Intel publicly available documentation isn't very thorough so I could really use some feedback from users.
New in i7 Turbo 6.8 (Jul 2, 2010)
- correctly support his T9500 mobile CPU.
New in i7 Turbo 6.5 (Jul 2, 2010)
- Just a minor update. I added initial support for Core i3 / i5 / new i7 and even i9 as long as hyper threading isn't enabled.
New in i7 Turbo 6.2 (Jul 2, 2010)
- Just added a small feature so you can minimize i7 Turbo to the system tray.
New in i7 Turbo 6.0 (Jul 2, 2010)
- Added the operating system activity to the CPU Load % results.
- This reduces or eliminates the interference that some third party monitoring programs were causing to the i7 Turbo reported results.
New in i7 Turbo 5.9 (Jul 2, 2010)
- Fixed a bug that was causing a problem for 965 and 975 owners.
- Added a standard deviation calculation box to the Calculated Multiplier as well as logging of this data. This should be near zero, especially at full load.
- Added a separate utility called MultiBoost which helps some Core i7 owners running Windows 7 to keep their multiplier at its maximum instead of only 12.
New in i7 Turbo 5.6 (Jul 2, 2010)
- Added a fix for CPUs with unlocked multipliers like the 965/975.
- Thanks NaeKuh for helping out.
New in i7 Turbo 5.4 (Jul 2, 2010)
- Just a couple of minor updates. I added the ability to toggle C1E for Core i7 CPUs. I also changed the EIST status flag so it is updated in real time and not just when you first start the program.

- Fixed incorrect multiplier result when only 1 core was active. Was showing +1 when it should have been showing a +2 Turbo boost. Thanks rge for finding and testing that out.
- added an INI file to remember the previous Load Filter used.
- added the CPU name string so when I see results posted, I'll know what CPU you're using.
- added the ability to toggle C1E but only for Core 2 users so far.
- added an INI option called Delay=0 which controls how long of a delay in milliseconds there is before the multiplier is read from the MSR. The range is 0 to 10 ms.
- When reading the multiplier from a CPU, the act of reading this information momentarily loads the CPU which can increase the value of the multiplier returned. Most software that reports the multiplier will use a tiny delay just before reading the multiplier to give the CPU a chance to settle down.
- Delay=0 will result in a more responsive and accurate MSR Multiplier while Delay=1 will give the CPU a millisecond to settle down and at idle will result in an MSR Multiplier that doesn't float around as much. Default is Delay=1.
