Intel plans to deliberately limit Sandy Bridge overclocking

[JumpingJack]

then how can you defend intel for breaking bclock adjustments?
chum made a perfect point, francois is bragging about how great their designs are, but if they are really so great then how come they couldnt solve this problem by adding a simple divider or multiplier? nobody cares where the clock signal comes from, thats not the point... the point is what you do with it...

well good thing for us here at xtremeOEMsandsystembuilders.org then! hooray! wait...

I don't defend it, i think it sux as much as the next guy but I am also not so closed minded I pretend not to understand why companies do the things they do.

Intel does not make their money with xtremesystems.org, they do not even make the most volume of their revenue with DIY boxed processors but they do make money with the guys that would be part of xtremeOEMsandsystembuilders.org that is who they are trying to sell the bulk of their product to in the first place ... they are offering unlocked skus which is fine by me. I won't participate in skt 1155 any way, I will only go for skt 2011.... those won't be BLCLK locked from what is understood on the net.
