Intel 80386, a Revolutionary CPU
I'm shocked nobody mentions it: 386 added the turbo button.

Because it's not true. I had a 286 with a turbo button.

I saw a 8088 that had a frequency switch, but it was on the back and not labeled as "Turbo".

That was already present in 286 and even higher clocked 8088 and 8086 machines.
