unless they are talking directly to the designers at Intel, no one has any Lynnfield silicon that they could be playing with. From the information available right now, the only way Lynnfield will OC is through unlocked multiplyers. Due to the inclusion of turbo mode, I'm guessing that each core has individually adjustable multiplyers that can be tweaked when unlocked. the problem still pops up that there is no refrence clock on the platform.Credible information we were able to obtain from industry sources suggest that rumors about Intel preventing users from overclocking Nehalem processors are false. From what we have learned, Intel has very healthy silicon on its hands. It appears that there are some challenges related to overclocking, especially in the memory controller area. However, it is unlikely that there will be anything that prevents overclocking of the CPU cores.
Something new at work here?
