    Hi, i use 3DMark Vantage to get my system information. In the CPU info section, i got internal clock at 2.3 ghz and internal clock maximum 2.3ghz as well. Is this correct? i thought the maximum clock should be 3.4ghz for my processor. And can i noe what is external clock as well? Thank you very much.


    Internal Clock 2.3 GHz

    Internal Clock Maximum 2.3 GHz

    what i believe is that the 2.3Ghz is a clock that is functional across all the cores
    where as the 3.4Ghz is your turbo frequency for a single core
