Intel's Core I7-980X Six-Core Benchmarked

Wait, how am I just now learning about Intel’s “Turbo Boost”? Since the MacBook Pro refresh will almost certainly include a processor with Turbo Boost (and be capable of using it), it’ll be my first computer with “Turbo” since the ’80s. Speaking of the ’80s, I may need to re-watch some Knight Rider, so that when I get my Turbo computer I’ll be ready to compute like the Hoff (see the video, cf turbo button).

Putting aside the kidding and corny name, Intel’s Turbo Boost is pretty slick.
