how does intel's trubo boost work really? for example, i7 6700 has a base clock of 3.4 GHz,and a boost of 4.0GHz.
Does it mean when at stress (e.g- gaming load) that i7 is guaranteed to work at 4.0ghz? or does it mean, that the cpu can reach 4.0ghz only when, there are a few free cores with little/no workload.
if the later is true, then it makes sense to Overclock one's cpu within the limit of T boost, otherwise it doesnt. On the other hand, Overclocks will only be effective when done beyond the intel's T boost range,if the former is true.
This is important for me, coz im confused between buying an i7 6700 and i5 6600k. Its 2016, ill not buy a cpu thats clocked inder 3.6ghz.A guranteed 4ghz is however a lot more acceptable!
TIA for ur input on this.
