turbo mode

Peak performance setting

Turbo mode is a setting that increases speed or performance beyond normal levels.

The term comes from turbochargers in engines, which boost power output.

In computing, turbo mode lets processors run faster than their base clock speed.

More broadly, it describes any heightened state of productivity or intensity: I'm in turbo mode trying to finish this project.
