Overclocking or Amd turbo boost?

I know that turbo boost only goes on in demanding situations..

But other than that.. any real differences?

Would you say it is better to overclock or just use the AMD turbo boost?

Turbo Boost vs. Overclocking

In simpler terms, Turbo Boost allows a chip to running faster than its stock speeds when some of its cores are idling, which leaves power/thermal headroom available for the remaining loaded cores to use in the form of increased frequency.

Overclocking is when you force the chip to run at frequencies higher than stock. Overclocking comes in two flavors: static and dynamic. A static overclock is when you run the chip at a constant frequency higher than the stock speeds. A dynamic overclock is when you run the chip at a higher-than-stock frequency that varies. Turbo Boost is thus a form of dynamic overclocking.
