I don't know how to do the 1core/2.8ghz thing. Do tell...

So far, I have only used the turbo button to get 1.7ghz, and used AMD GPU Clock Tool. Just have to upload the pics, but here are the numbers...

1. Stock, no turbo
Vantage = 8047
CPU Score =10887
GPU Score= 7403

2. Stock, Turbo enabled
Vantage = 8049
CPU Score = 10657
GPU Score = 7442

AMD GPU Tool
Set to 799.99/1100
Vantage = 8783
CPU Score = 10577
GPU Score = 8313
I haven't been able to play with the BIOS myself, but I did see a "turbo mode" in there for enable/disable from Kens video and this is what I figure the i7 turbo mode is compared to the button on the left which is what Vicious was playing with I think. How the mobile i7 turbo mode works is this:

I'm still not totally sure what this Asus turbo mode is that bumps it 50-100MHz giving you the 1.7GHz across all 4 cores.

Edit: Just looked at Kens video again and it is the Asus turbo (a.k.a. Easy Over Clock) in the BIOS option. Now I wonder how the i7 turbo is supposed to work. Oh well, I'm a day away from getting into it myself, but I can see that lappyland is seriously neutered from deskyland.
