Does this answer your question?

Product Brief is the source, located at...

Thank you for the pointer. Unfortunately, the image and the PDF it came from tells only which models have Turboboost, but not the "Bin" details. Those details state for each model, for each n < the number of cores, if only n cores are active, and thermal conditions permit, at what clock rate the n active cores run.

For Xeon E5v3, the turbo bin details are in Table 2 of http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/xeon-e5-v3-spec-update.pdf http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/xeon-e5-v3-spec-update.pdf

I am still looking for those Turbo bin details for both the XEON E7v3 and E3v5 processors

Sorry for the delay, It doesn't look like we have an external (publically available) copy of bin details with turbo on these two products. That said I have found internal confidential versions of the tables you are looking for, I have a request to marketing to get them scrubbed to make external. I can not speak for the product group on when and if they will make this available, but I will update the post if I have success. If you have a NDA Non-disclosure Agreement in place let me know and we can make arrangements and get this info to you right away. Apologize for any frustration this might have caused you, but that looks like the best I can pull together right now.

I'LL have to wait. I don't think my current employer has an NDA in place with Intel.

The E5V3 details make it clear that Turbo enablement is not linear with deactivated cores and their imputed power consumption.

The domain I was focused on is the world of very expensive software that is priced per active core available to the software product. My strategy was to turn off cores to get the higher performance from the remaining active cores. Also, the price per core from that company jumps dramatically if the server has more than two sockets populated.
