You may also want to mention why they, amd and intel, introduced the lock. Remarking of the cpus just got so popular and the fake markings where so sophisticated that noone could tell which cpu it was from just the looks.Originally Posted by saaya
10 years? not really... are you even aware that originally all cpus came with unlocked multipliers and it was intel who started to lock multipliers to begin with?
With that action amd and intel basically killed the remarking business over night.
First locked chips where the P2s. For AMD it was the orignal athlon on the slot A.I do believe the Pentium 133MHz was the first locked chip
