Intel Yonah is auto-overclocking
INTEL HAS A naming problem again, and it is not one that is easy to pigeonhole. The problem is that if you buy a chip, it theoretically runs at a distinct clock rate, and that is that. If you want to save power, you can run it slower also, but that is an option. What happens when a chip automatically runs faster, briefly? How do you market it?
Lets take the auto-overclocking in Yonah for example. If you buy a CPU at 2.16GHz, you expect it to act like the rest of the 2.16GHz CPUs. If that CPU can ramp up to 2.33 when circumstances permit with the laptop equivalent of Foxton, how fast is it? 2.16 or 2.33? Before you write to say it is a model T243-7aR//763T243-7aR//763, please choke on something before you put your fingers on the keyboard.
