I have an Intel i7 processor. It's frequency is 2.67 GHz, however it has turbo boost allowed to a frequency of 3.3 GHz. Is turbo boost posible using Ubuntu?

    Yes it works. I verified it working on mine with 10.04. I used this app ages ago. http://code.google.com/p/i7z/ – duffydack Dec 14 '11 at 05:48

if you are using ubuntu 11.04 or ubuntu 11.10 then it is possible

Try powertop and turbostat from the acpidump package (run sudo modprobe msr before sudo turbostat).
