Turbo… It’s that damn “turbo” again but now AI
In the eighties “turbo” was all the rage and I kid you not, everything had the label “turbo” on it. Now it will be “AI” all over things. Hold on to your hats boys and girls who were not alive in the eighties, it’s gonna be wild…
Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.
Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.
note: on most computers, it worked the opposite to how one would think. Turning it on slowed your cpu to around 33 MHz
