+In some cases, like with overclocking or 'turbo' or 'boost' modes, voltage and

+These are often not reflected in /sys based CPU \fBmin/max:\fR speed results,

+CPU not overclocked, with boost, like Ryzen:
+\fBSpeed: 2861 MHz min/max: 1550/3400 MHz boost: enabled base/boost: 3400/3900\fR

+.fi
+
+Note that these numbers can be confusing, but basically, the \fBbase\fR
+number is the actual normal top speed the CPU runs at without boost mode, and the
+\fBboost\fR number is the max speed the CPU reports itself able to run at.
+The actual max speed may be higher than either value, or lower.
+The \fBboost\fR number appears to be hard\-coded into the CPU DMI data,
+and does not seem to reflect actual max speeds that overclocking or
+other combinations of speed boosters can enable, as you can see from the
+example where the CPU is running at a speed faster than
+the min/max or base/boost values.
+
+Note that the normal \fBmin/max:\fR speeds do NOT show actual overclocked OR
+boost/turbo mode speeds, and appear to be hard\-coded values, not dynamic real
+values. The \fBbase/boost:\fR values are sometimes real, and sometimes not.
