Apparently, Intel designed the sample in question to run at 3.07GHz with its two cores, four threads, 256KB of L2 cache per core, and 4MB of shared L3 cache. Coolaler's CPU-Z screenshots suggest the sample reached a cool 4GHz with just 0.832V of juice. Presumably, the processor's Turbo-Boost functionality could push individual cores even higher in certain applications, too.
