Anyone planning on buying this chip and trying to hack it into it to unlock it?

they ran out of names on this or what ? Sounds like a MAC workstation LOL ,

soo much to choose soo little time. Man grab a Sandy and in the process if you can grab Mindy do dat.

i was kind of wondering the same thing, but i doubt its possible, otherwise people would have already done it with the g690(?) chips a year ago. also these arent that great of chips in the first place, they are clocked very so low i wouldnt really want one

Has anyone ever upgraded a chip yet? Rumor has it you can take an i3 all the way up to 3.6GHz with the i3-2153. Google search yields next to nothing on this model number.

This processor along with a couple others are members of a limit set processors that are being sold to OEM for very low end systems (think Wal-mart computers). With these processers the customer will be able to go and pick up a code at a later date that will turn on or activate some additional features. In the case of the Intel® Pentium G622 you can have it run a little faster to 3.2GHz.

I understand that there are people out there who buy these low end system and find that they want some additional performance but Wal-mart system are going to take a lot more work to turn into a gaming system or enthusiast build than this $50 upgrade code will give you.

Interesting, buying a $50 voucher to get some extra speed. Is it hacker proof? 😀

When I read about the codes I set out to discover just that. I never came across even a hint that anybody might be able to crack it.

Is it hacker proof? I don't think anything is hacker proof but from what I understand it wouldnt be easy. From my understanding you enter the code on an Intel® website and then the activation code is sent from our site to your system to turn on the upgrade.

If you take the CPU out and place it in another motherboard, does the CPU revert to its original specs?

Pretty sure the answer is yes.
