Bus speed x Multiplier = CPU speed

1648.5 MHz is your idle speed.

What you want to do is run prime95 and see what your cpu speed is at max load.

Then turn on the TPU switch and run prime 95 and see what your speed is at max load.

Compare the 2 and see if improvement.

TPU switch is the 'i am a noob at overclocking do it for me' switch. Learn how to manual overclock for getting more out of your cpu.

overclocking is basically configuring your bus speed and multiplier to get a higher cpu speed.
