I own a dual Xeon E5-2697 V2 machine. Its base speed is meant to be 2.7GHz, and the boost speed should reach 3.5Ghz. But when playing games with nothing running in the background, the CPU locks up at around 2.9Ghz. CSGO probably doesn’t fully utilize all 24 cores—likely only a few at a time, maybe 4 or 6. That’s what the Task Manager graph suggests. Why isn’t the Xeon actually boosting just those four cores to a higher speed?

A 30x clock multiplier works well with 6 or more cores. Even when background tasks are minimized to use just 4 cores, the performance gain drops to about 32x.
