Intel Xeon Silver 4208 frequencies

[C-EB]

Hello All,

I've an Asus C621E Sage motherboard with actually 1 Intel Xeon Silver 4208 processor.
I've a question about the turbo frequency which normally should be 3.2GHz.

I never see this turbo frequency used when I test with the CPU-Z bench.

My motherboard is configured to use the maximum of the processor.

Do you have any suggestion ?

Regards,

The highest Turbo Boost frequency is only applied when a single Core is in use. It will *never* be seen when running benchmark software, as they utilise multiple cores. To learn more about how Turbo Boost works, here are a number of (Intel) references:

• What is Intel Turbo Boost Technology and How Does it Work?
• Why Am I Not Getting the Intel Turbo Boost Frequency?
• My Intel Core Processor Does Not Reach the Maximum Turbo Boost Frequency

Hope this covers it,
