There is currently no way to do this on Mac OS X.

There actually is if you're running a Core i Series processor: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-power-gadget-20

No, it is not simple. That's the reason why Intel wrote a tool for this task.

I can see the Turbo Boost frequencies in Windows where!? Which application?

Does not work, only supports 2nd gen I-core

edit it seems to say or later but mine is 4th gen and it is not working it is telling me this??? does it not support HASWELL

does it not support HASWELL

I guess it doesn't. It works fine with the 2012 i5/i7, so it must need an update.

Btw, the Windows version of this utility has the same problem (no Haswell support).

i had a windows laptop with a i-core cpu and windows 7 i think it was and it had a tubro boots widget like on the side bar just came turned on, must of been the first time we had turboboost to show it off, i think it was the first time the cpu you had a intergraded GPU.....everytime i did something intense it tubroboosted, i had an i5 think it was 2nd gen might even of been a first gen i-core....
