I advise you to search for some tool that forces the turbo mode.
Be it a BIOS setting or an "overclock" or whatever.
Actually the lowest the CPU will run at in turbo mode and 100% CPU load set as minimum in windows is 1.73GHz if I've been informed correctly. I also got values that seem to confirm that in CPU-Z. It was a way for Intel to make their i-core 1.6GHz seem quicker than other 1.6 GHz cores since with the boost enabled it will at minimum overclock the CPU to 1.73GHz even with all 4 cores in use.
