English term or phrase: Turbo
Hi,

This "prefix" is often used to express strength and power: Turbo Pascal, turbo boost, etc.
I need to find a good synonym, i.e. a word or "prefix" that is often used to express the same idea.

Thank you in advance.

agree  magdadh: I think both could do. Ultra is kinda sharp or electric to me, super is a bit boring but for a basic consumer market product it could maybe work.
