Hold onto your hyperthreaded horses, because this is liable to whip up an angry mob - Intel`s asking customers to pay extra if they want the full power of their store-bought silicon. An eagle-eyed Engadget reader was surfing the Best Buy shelves when he noticed this card - and sure enough, Intel websites confirm - that lets you download software to unlock extra threads and cache on the new Pentium G6951 processor. Hardware.info got their hands on an early sample of the chip and discovered it`s actually a full 1MB of L3 cache that`s enabled plus HyperThreading support, which translates to a modest but noticeable upgrade. This isn`t exactly an unprecedented move, as chip companies routinely sell hardware-locked chips all the time in a process known as binning, but there they have a simpler excuse - binned chips are typically sold with cores or cache locked because that part of their silicon turned out defective after printing. This new idea is more akin to video games that let you `download` extra weapons and features, when those features were on the disc all along. Still, it`s an intriguing business model, and before you unleash your rage in comments, you should know that Intel`s just testing it out on this low-end processor in a few select markets for now.
Nije ovo hardverski, već softverski. Prodaju maglu glupim amerima koji ne znaju da barataju BIOSom... i treba da im naplaćuju neznanje... __________________ Scourge of PCBerza
1.David Dellsperger 15 hours ago in reply to Frosted Butts It really looks like it`s just a way for intel to tell computer manufacturers to disable hyperthreading in the bios, and charge to enable it in the bios...could just be my weird take on it though. 2.milkywayer 11 hours ago in reply to Hans Pedersen Da BLEEP!
My next cpu gonna be an AMD. 3.milkywayer 11 hours ago in reply to sortius This gives new meaning to `I just downloaded more RAM`. So now we`ve to pay more to unlock something we`ve already paid for as a whole.
I`m imaging very soon we`ll be pirating Intel`s ass.
Eto, pretpostavio sam da u Biosu samo isključe HT, ispade da sam u pravu...
Jbg, ljudi naplaćuju instaliranje Windowsa što je pi*kin dim, što se onda ne bi i baratanje BIOSom naplaćivalo... __________________ Scourge of PCBerza

@ DAUM slazem se sa tobom iz razloga jer znam da podignem sistem optimizujem itd, e sad stoji ona druga stvar, koliko cesto vidjas ljude koji `prvi` put sedaju za komp i ocekuju da ce da ih ujede za nogu, sasusi facu od zracenja i izazove rak trepavice, ja ih znam veoma solidan broj, isto kao kad bi npr tebi crkao grejac u bojleru, a ti zovnes majstora, ne zato sto to nikada nisi radio i ne znas nego se ne usudjujes to da uradis, ima poentu.

Pozdrav!

`We`re not trying to target the most high-end discrete (standalone) card. We don`t have the bandwidth, we don`t have the power budget. We`re trying to do the best experience for the mobile platform,` said Opher Kahn, senior principal engineer on the Sandy Bridge design team.
