"When the processor determines that three or less cores are being fully utilized, it will place the underutilized cores into a lower power, low clockspeed state. In this case the cores will be clocked at 800 MHz and will have their voltage decreased. The other three cores will be placed into a boost mode, with their clockspeeds increased as well as their voltages per core increased. AMD is designing these cores to be run between 400 MHz and 500 MHz faster. A theoretical six core clocked at 3.2 GHz would then see a boost of three cores up to 3.6 GHz."
