Different technologies as the Intel® Turbo Boost Technology and others allow the Processor to automatically increase or decrease the clock speed and the power consumption when it recognizes that the system is demanding additional performance. Therefore, it is normal if the Processor works under the Maximum Turbo Frequency (3.9 GHz).
