I'm not saying the performance gains if this guy overclocked his CPU are going to be as noticeable as mine, but it wouldn't hurt to try and see if it's worth it. I read over and over and over and over again in many different forums that my CPU shouldn't be overclocked and overclocking CPU's in laptops is bad because temps.blah blah blah.I and many others have proven otherwise. This can easily be shown on my Firestrike scores that were substantially increased after doing what I have described in this thread, and have also shown through while gaming. Actually, call it whatever you want, at the end of the day the goal is improved performance and that is what we are talking about here.

Turbo boost is not always going to be active so if you manually set your clock speeds to constantly stay at what they'd be at if turbo boosted then you've overclocked your CPU. Now typically there is a little extra leeway so that even though your CPU is only rated at max turbo boost of 3.5GHz, you can actually overclock it to 3.7GHz first core, 3.6GHz with two cores active, and 3.5GHz with 4 cores active. If you have 2 cores running at 3.5GHz while those two are the only active cores and then when the other two cores are active they all drop to 3.3GHz, then setting clock speeds to run at 3.5GHz on all 4 cores instead of 3.3GHz you in turn have overclocked your CPU and will get better performance. Setting clock speeds to turbo levels on an Intel CPU is definitely overclocking.

Setting clock speeds to turbo levels is not overclocking.
