How Intel Will Lock Overclocking on LGA1160 (Mainstream Nehalem) - Fud

[BrowncoatGR]

As you still could with current X2, X4 / Phenom, C2D / C2Q ... and the difference is? This with regards to your >500$ statement for Nehalem CPU+Mobo.

Sure, just like then, there will be people chosing older and cheaper products/platforms, but there will also be those that will pay that 500$ or whatever it will cost.

I can't see the difference in examples.

But I could be missing the point, and if so, I will stand corrected

I believe few is taking this news seriously

My point wasn't the cost itself. Blauhung mentioned that Intel made a platform dedicated for overclockers while the rest cant be OCed/ is difficult to OC(we'll see which of the 2). I just pointed out that a large percentage of ppl even here on XS do not have or are unwilling to pay the kind of money the Bloomfield platform is going to cost.
