Multiple VID?

Can someone explain to me what Multiple VID means in reference to the new processors that Intel is producing now? I can't seem to find a good whitepaper on the subject.

This may explain it. Basically, intel is changing the vcore voltage. It can be anywhere from 1.475v to 1.5v (I believe).
What I get from it is that the yields are better in the batches these days and the chips don't need as much voltage to run at higher speeds. I could be completely wrong though.
 
I don't think there is any question that the yields are better.

Many of the chips (SL6RZ and SL6S2) are running over 3Ghz at
default vcore on air cooling.

Thanks gooseman. I've been noticing a lot of talk lately about those chips that jhites mentioned in his reply. I guess when I get back from vacation and after I've paid some of my bills I'll look into getting one of those newer processors in hopes of overclocking the bejezus out of it! 😉

That's what I'm doing right now. Mr. UPS man just delivered a P4 2.4b C1 stepping with an S-code of SL6EF to my house this morning. So far (right now), I'm running it at 155Mhz FSB (2790Mhz) @ stock voltage. Well, my Asus P4B533-E overvolts a little so it says it is running at 1.6v. Seems stable. I ran 3dMark2001SE but have not tried Prime95 yet. My goal is to reach 3Ghz.
 
I think that I may be turning into a CPU junky.

Just bought another 2.53 SL6S2 Multiple VID today. 😛
Fry's had 163 of them here in Austin.

All of the 68 2.4b's were BO stepping and I just got a SL6RZ the other day.
Guess they sold out of the good stuff. 😉
