Imgur of Intel Processor Identification Utility: http://imgur.com/oBEPKAh
So when I bought this laptop it said in the specs "2.7GHz up to 3.2GHz". I didn't really know what then meant until I learned about Intel's Turbo Boost. I was reading up on it and how it worked with my processor and I read that,
"Each core offers a base speed of 2.4 GHz but can dynamically increase clock rates with Turbo Boost up to 3.2 GHz (for 4 active cores), 3.3 GHz (for 2 active cores) and 3.4 GHz (for 1 active core)."

So if my CPU clock is 3.49GHz, as shown in the Imgur, does that mean that only one of my four cores is running at 3.49GHz, or all of them? I'm guessing that 4 cores at 3.2Hz is better that 1 core at 3.49GHz (for gaming).
Thanks in advance for the help 😀
