Unlocked Hyperthreading in a 3570k? Yes, please.

[BulletSpongeRTR]

I know, I know, you're jumping to the same conclusion I did...........FAKE! But, 60+ pages of discussion/study of the CPU (live streamed validations, benches, BIOS dumps, etc, etc) have proven that the CPU in question is actually Hyperthreading. He has no idea how it happened but comparison of the microcode between his 3570k and a 3770k show that there is only a difference of a small number of characters (encrypted of course) between the two. A few OCN members knowledgeable on the subject are investigating to see if the hyperthreading can be reproduced in another 3570k. If they succeed it may, in theory, mean that HT can be unlocked in all 1155 i5's. Let that sink in a moment. Goodbye i7 sales. I'll not bore you with anymore details I barely understand but will close with the link below. Oh, be sure to check out his screenshots.

I feel this should be in the news section also this happen to AMD CPUs back in the day when AMD disabled the cores to make ltripple core CPUs which could be unlocked to have four cores and overclockable.

Architecturally, a processor with Hyper-Threading Technology consists of two logical processors per core, each of which has its own processor architectural state. Each logical processor can be individually halted, interrupted or directed to execute a specified thread, independently from the other logical processor sharing the same core.

That means if,architecturally the i7 and i5 are the same,then you could add HT to the i5.

4.5 GHz at 1.008 Vcore? OH GIMME A BREAK

If a mod agrees then by all means move it to the news section. I did not post it in the news section here as I was unsure if this forums rules were as draconian as OCN's when posting news articles.

If it's true then it's Massive news.

I have a 3570K

 

This sounds more like Tech News, and it also sounds extremely interesting.

I believe it based on what I have read, I just don't believe yet that they will be able to reproduce it. FINGERS CROSSED! I also hope that if they figure it out they disseminate the "how-to" as far and wide across the internet as they can before Intel decides to "protect" their "intellectual properties". Considering how such a discovery would absolutely destroy i7 sales they would be foolish to let the information out unchallenged.

That cpu has been sold multiple times because it was a great overclocker. I've seen 5GHz at 1.20V stable in prime95 >.>

this one does p95 @5ghz on 1.184v..........

after reading a good chunk of that thread i think its fake.

wtf...?
