The i5 support seems to be a little behind, even on the latest from Koala beta (which I went for having seen the same Phoronix article explaining that the 2.6.31 Kernel was required for compatibility).
In addition to the Turbo Boosting not working, I have also found performance to be on par or below that of a Core2Duo chip of similar Ghz, lm_sensors unable to detect/monitor the chip, and issues with the CPU scaling defaulting to a maximum (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/436356 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/359559). Given the popularity of these processors, I'd hoped that these things would be ironed out for the Koala release. If I can supply any further information, please let me know.
