(the amount of marketing names employed to describe the same set of features is becoming mind-boggling).

Does this mean you'll be passing out the migraine pills to us @Ravenlord ? Not like we have enough headaches to deal with than to keep track of those names...

Yes it was used to allow the PC to run at 33 MHz instead of the stock 66 MHz as needed.
I had a 486 PC that ran at 66 MHz when the Turbo was "on" and 33 MHz when it was "off".
There was even a display that showed as 33 or 66.
So for my PC, Turbo"On" equaled the full speed.
Just like it states here:
What Was the Turbo Button on Old PCs for? | ITIGIC


You're one generation ahead. Lol. Many old 386 had those buttons. Can't remember were there turbo on 286 as well.

LOL
Yeah I had a 386 before the 486 and I can't remember if it had a Turbo button or not.
I only remember the 486 had one because of the digital display it had showing 33 or 66.

Love how they always go against the rules :D
They always seem to find a way around the Intel and AMD locks.

Release the final enhanced BIOS later on the other High-Tier models for both to the Z490 and the Z390 series.
That would be a fair thing to do if it has already been done on this model.

The question is how far back will it be backported, as manufacturers prefer people to pay for new hardware to get new software features.
