3.2 with turbo boost up to 3.6

the 3.2 is when all cores are running for most tasks. It turbo's to 3.6 on a single core basis, when you need extra speed for a game or application.

it will only down-clock to 1.6 ghz or whatever, if the CPU is set up to use energy savings etc. Most people turn this off in the BIOS, unless your into saving the world, and your electricity bill!
