What Intel CPU's have unlocked multiplyers? Or none?

 

[imported_zenwhen]

Only "Intel Confidential" CPU's sent out to certain pre-release reviewers and OEMS have unlocked mults. Anyone caught selling you one of these would be in a world of legal hurt.

Basically that means "none."

 

[Stormgiant]

If you mean "new and recent" cpu's, none.
If you mean "ever", then those before P266MMX were all unlocked.

Weird... I remember O/C-ing my PII 350 MMX by multiplyer...

Do Intel Pentium 4-M processors for laptops have unlocked multipliers? I know that Athlon XP-M's use unlocked multipliers for PowerNow!, so does Intel do the same with their downclocking, power-saving tech. ?

All pentium 4 XE or "Extreme Edition" CPUs are unlocked.

1) There is no such thing.

2) The EE's are still locked.

uh...

i've never heard of a p4 XE... link?

i have heard of a p4 EE and those are still locked.

engineering samples are also unlocked but they are hard to come by...

Unlocked: Pentium 1, certain Pentium 2 CPUs.
Locked: all current non-engineering sample Intel CPUs.

Didn't there used to be a bios setting that allowed you to "unlock" the multiplier? I believe it was the "SEL" setting on "high". It was very shortlived, if I remember correctly, before Intel squashed it.

 

[jswjimmy]

all intel cpus are locked after the 100fsb p2s

 

[lenjack]

I believe the lock was instituted in 8/98.

 

[caz67]

As every one else said the EE's are locked what is an XE though?

IMO it is BS of Intel to lock the EE's though... Spend a premium on one of those things you should have right to play
