How Set my Macbook Air to full perfomance like Windows

Hello, Apple Community.

I have my Macbook Air Mid 2013 13 inch.

I tired to use Windows Bootcamp for gaming or use my macbook to 2600 ghz. Any idea for set my macbook to 2600 ghz. I see with a terminal sentence that my cpu speed is always 1300. In windows , can put my gpu to Max perfomance and my cpu to Max perfomance 2600 ghz from 1300 ghz.

I dont believe that OSX no have with this options..

I guest for your suggestions...

Thx.

you can not overclock the CPU or GPU on a Mac. this is locked on the firmware level and is not controlled by the OS.

There is no options in OS X for power management like there is in Windows. Apple has never allowed the user to set the system to Max Performance like you can in the Windows Power Options.

The OP is not asking about overclocking. He just wants to set the system so the CPU isn't throttled by the Intel Speedstep system
