Does parallels use intel Turbo Boost?

[FlavioW1]

Hello, all.
Title says it. Does parallels apply Turbo Boost under a Windows virtual machine? Im running a MBA 11" mid 2012 with a Core i5 3337U 1.7 ghz "up to 2.6ghz turbo boost", and my CPU-Z readings under Windows in Parallels show only 1.7ghz, x17 multiplier, regardless of what load i'm under (tested heavy games). Am I missing some configuration? The extra 900mhz could really be of help in my modest configuration.

Thank you,

Hi @FlavioW1 , please let us know the version of Parallels Desktop you are using. Is it home/Pro/Business?

Turbo Boost is controlled by the CPU, so Windows VM automatically run at current frequency.
Here is a screenshot from my MBA 13" mid 2012:

I don't know why your frequency is only 1.7, maybe the CPU starts to overheat and turns Turbo Boost off.
