How to calculate Maximum Intel Turbo Boost Frequencies from Available Bins of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology for Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 v2 Family
This page covers the meaning of Available Bins of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology for the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 v2 Family.
The Specification Update for the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 v2 Family lists the Available Bins of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. For example, the Intel® Xeon® E5-2667 v2's Available Bins are 3/3/3/3/4/5/6/7. The number between each slash represents the number of bins for each of the processor's cores in descending order. Each bin is 100MHz. Add the number of bins to the Processor Base Frequency to determine the Maximum Intel Turbo Boost Frequency.
For example: The Maximum Intel Turbo Frequencies are calculated for the Intel Xeon Processor E5-2667 v2 (with 3.3 GHz base frequency and 8 cores) as follows:
- (3 bins x 100MHz) + 3.3 GHz = 3.6 GHz with 8, 7, 6, or 5 cores
- (4 bins x 100MHz) + 3.3 GHz = 3.7 GHz with 4 cores
- (5 bins x 100MHz) + 3.3 GHz = 3.8 GHz with 3 cores
- (6 bins x 100MHz) + 3.3 GHz = 3.9 GHz with 2 cores
- (7 bins x 100MHz) + 3.3 GHz = 4.0 GHz on 1 core
