The latter will show all of your processor core speeds simultaneously in one display,as well as the core multipliers. If you want see what your processor cores are running at most of the time, use IXTU or HWiNFO64. When all the cores in a processor are at high load, they will then all operate at the base clock speed of that processor, without any Turbo boost. Two processor cores can run at one or two 'bins' down from the maximum Turbo frequency. Normally only one of the processor cores is allowed to operate at the maximum Turbo frequency. Turbo boost does not allow all the cores in a processor to run at the maximum Turbo boost frequency at the same time. This applies to non-over clocked processors only. CPU-Z displays one CPU/Core frequency, which is inadequate for monitoring Turbo boost. Personally, I would never use CPU-Z as a monitoring tool for checking Turbo boost. The i7-975 used by the OP uses Intel Turbo Boost Technology 1.0, and of course an earlier chipset. Starting with the 2nd Generation Intel processors, aka Sandy Bridge processors, Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 began being used, instead of Turbo Boost 1.0. Given what has been reported here, it seems to me that Intel processors with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 1.0, are the ones that may not have Turbo boost working, when used with Windows 10.

I think you need to be more specific here, since the Intel 7 series chipsets can support both 2nd Generation (Sandy Bridge) and 3rd Generation (Ivy Bridge) Mainstream processors.The Intel 6 series chipsets can work with both the 2nd Generation (Sandy Bridge) and 3rd Generation (Ivy Bridge) Mainstream processors.
