The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.
In addition to the CPU drivers offered by AMD, several motherboard manufacturers have released software to give the end user more control over the Cool 'n' Quiet feature, as well as the other new features of AMD processors and chipsets. Using these applications, one can even control the CPU voltage explicitly.
AMD PowerNow! is AMD's dynamic frequency scaling and power saving technology for laptop processors. The CPU 's clock speed and VCore are automatically decreased when the computer is under low load or idle, to save battery power, reduce heat and noise .

AMD Turbo Core a.k.a. AMD Core Performance Boost (CPB) is a dynamic frequency scaling technology implemented by AMD that allows the processor to dynamically adjust and control the processor operating frequency in certain versions of its processors which allows for increased performance when needed while maintaining lower power and thermal parameters during normal operation.

The AMD Bulldozer Family 15h is a microprocessor microarchitecture for the FX and Opteron line of processors, developed by AMD for the desktop and server markets. [1] [2] Bulldozer is the codename for this family of microarchitectures. It was released on October 12, 2011, as the successor to the K10 microarchitecture.
Ryzen uses the "Zen" CPU microarchitecture, a redesign that returned AMD to the high-end CPU market after a decade of near-total absence since 2006. [6] AMD's primary competitor, Intel, had largely dominated this market segment starting from the 2006 release of their Core microarchitecture and the Core 2 Duo. [7]
