Is a rMBP 15" i7 as fast on battery power as it is plugged in?

This is a question about how the turbo boost technology works:

Is a late 2013 rMBP 15" i7 2.0 GHz as fast on battery power as it is plugged in?

Does the system not go into turbo boost as often, or at all, when on battery?

I've not noticed any real world performance differences and that includes running VM's. If you benchmark it then there might be some difference, but you probably have too much time on your hands if you notice this.

I've not noticed any differences - its a fast on the battery as the a/c

Well actually, my rMBP appears to be a little bit faster on battery power, but that's probably because mine does a lot more things when plugged in like making TM backups, updates, ...

Thanks for the follow ups, guys.

Yup but for a much shorter time

I think that it runs the same UNLESS battery is low. I've noticed one you are running low the computer slows down!
