What is intel turbo boost?

I have done a fresh re-install of my new Laptop and as I was downloading drivers I notice one called 'into turbo boost'. I downloaded it and installed it but I'm not quite sure what it actually does, could anyone explain?

Cheers

It's a temporary overclock, but I wasn't aware it required any driver to enable it.

Makes sense, yeah it did seem to need a driver. So I guess it just does everything automatic?

I don't believe it does require a driver. I think this is just the software that shows you the real time over clocking that is going on.
