Newer processors do not hard-code the the number of cpus in each bin
to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} Rather, they can specify any number
of CPUS in each of the 8 bins:
eg.
...
37 * 100.0 = 3600.0 MHz max turbo 4 active cores
38 * 100.0 = 3700.0 MHz max turbo 3 active cores
39 * 100.0 = 3800.0 MHz max turbo 2 active cores
39 * 100.0 = 3900.0 MHz max turbo 1 active cores
could now look something like this:
...
37 * 100.0 = 3600.0 MHz max turbo 16 active cores
38 * 100.0 = 3700.0 MHz max turbo 8 active cores
39 * 100.0 = 3800.0 MHz max turbo 4 active cores
39 * 100.0 = 3900.0 MHz max turbo 2 active cores

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
