I found this link over at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62250425&postcount=243
it details on how while its a 4.5 watt core m chip, it was not set with any restrictions and can go up to 6 watt at rest and up to 15 watt when under load in burst mode.
It does add speed but at the cost of a lot of heat–they link to an intel program that can let you reset the max load at rest to 4.5 watt and reduce the turbo boost as well. I don’t think it makes it much slower but may help with the heat
I also believe there were some instructions on how to modify the heat sink and spreader to improve cooling.
