| Overclocking |
| Intel Sandy Bridge processors won’t be overclockable |
| Intel is about to upset the enthusiast market it relies upon to buy new processors at the highest prices. The chip giant’s next round of processor releases for the consumer market, running on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, will have their overclocking potential severely limited to the point where it’s pointless doing it. |

| Phenom II X6: First Details Of ‘Thuban’ Design Emerge |
| Last month, Intel launched its first six-core desktop processor, the prohibitively-expensive Core i7-980X. Later in the month, it took the wraps off of its first four- and six-core 32 nm Xeon 5600-series CPUs. So, small and medium businesses are taken care of, as are wealthy video enthusiasts. But what about everyone else? Is there really a need to push more than four cores to the enthusiast market spending between $200 and $400 on a new processor? |
