    Phoronix: Expanded Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Support Is Being Worked On For Linux

    With the forthcoming Linux 4.10 kernel there is finally support for Turbo Boost Max 3.0 as featured in some newer Intel CPUs. But, unfortunately, the code in Linux 4.10 doesn't work for all TBM3-capable systems out there, but a new kernel patch is being worked on for Linux 4.11 or later to make it work with more hardware...

              There are a lot of systems out there that don't support HWP. We have issued another patch to enable TBM3 for those systems that don't: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/18/812

                  "TBM3-capable systems", I guess that means motherboards?
                  How can I find out if my motherboard ASRock Fatal1ty X99X Killer running i7-6850K are TBM3-capable?
