Turbo Boost to 3.9GHz on an Intel Core i7 iMac?

Hi Guys

Can anyone explain how the Turbo Boost 2.0 to 3.9GHz works on a 3.5gHZ Intel Core i7 iMac? Should I have somehow paid for an extra "Turbo Boost 2.0" upgrade when purchasing the 3.5gHZ Intel Core i7 iMac? I didn't see "Turbo Boost 2.0" as an extra option in the checkout so I'm thinking that it's already in-built into the 3.5gHZ Intel Core i7 iMacs?

I use Final Cut Pro X extensively so the Turbo Boost 2.0 would be great.

Any thoughts appreciated.

it's built in .

Turbo Boost 2.0 automatically increases the speed of the active cores, so the Core i7, for example, can offer up to 3.9GHz. And by shifting core frequency in small increments, Turbo Boost allows the processor to manage performance without sacrificing efficiency.
