[Bug 429036] Re: core i7 i5 (Lynnfield) turbo boost not working

[Dan Weber]

Hi there Anders,

So I'm sure I'm checking the right way, but I'm not sure how to 
alleviate the situation.  I have an i7  720QM in my laptop.  I run in 
powertop it says I'm in turbo mode.  I also check i7z and turbo stat.  
When I'm running the latter two applications it never exceeds 1.6ghz 
under full load.  Turbo boost on my laptop should be up to 2.8ghz. I 
have yet to see this on Linux.  On windows it properly gets to that 
number while benchmarking.  I'm not sure what it is.  Let me know if you 
have any ideas.

Thanks,
Dan
