Intel Speedstep - Does it mean lower performance?

I know it's supposed to lower the clock frequency to save battery power....but is there anyway to override the speedstep and not use it?

I'e use your laptop (1000 mhz for reference) at the full 1000 mhz even on battery at your own choice?
 
Yes, it means lower performance. 🙂 Obviously if you lower the clock speed, it doesn't perform as well. And yes, you can disable it. I'm pretty sure there's a System Tray icon provided with new laptops where you can turn it on or off, but at a minimum it can be set in the BIOS I'm sure.
 
Cool. Yeah, I know it's to sustain battery life and all, but I was just making sure that if I decided to use all power on battery, I could.

Thanks 🙂
 
Yes, you can turn it off with the tray icon. If you go full power on battery, you really eat up your battery time. Better hope it's a short flight. 🙂
 
yeah, you better not be trying to use the laptop in the couple of hours you're supposed to wait at the airport before the flight and on the flight with a single battery, espically one of those with the 15" screens.
