Virtulization technology.
When cpu is idle it drops the multi to 6 which is why it says it is 2.0.it is a energy saver. When you put a load on it , then multi comes back up to stock and away you go.

They gave it a much cooler name "speedstep" :beer:

and it could save you as much as three cents per month on your computer's energy bill!!

bottoms up!!

As pointed out, not called virtualization, but speedstep :beer:

Virtualization is for improved performance in, well, virtual machines (aka they have built-in hardware support on the chip for running VMs)

hehehe

sorry.

i remeber reading about it i just was spazzing out cause i thought i screwed something up.

is there something about CPU-Z not showing the right stats??

for some reason when i set the clock manual in the bios it will say the same speed in cpu-z but when i right click and go to properties on my computer it will show the clock i set it as in the bios??

i remember reading something about theres a setting in the bios that screws up the readings in cpu-z

Just put a load on your CPU and then see what CPU-z says. Betting it's your actual speed.
