Recently we reported that Intel will remove the planned limitation for low-end bloomfield models overclock ( memory and QPI bus ). Those desiring to obtain the complete overclock possibility had to acquire the processor core i7 extreme 965 (3.2 GHz), which not only possess the high QIP frequency (6.4 GT/s against 4.8 GT/s in other models ), but also come with unlocked multiplier.
However, as reports associate, the support of turbo- regime will be available only for core i7 extreme 965 processors , which will obtain the unlocked multiplier.
Now all bloomfield can overclock the memory and QPI bus. The thickness of memory frequency ratio can vary from 2x to 32x, and QPI bus- from 4x to 64x. The processors core i7 920 (2.66 GHz) and Core i7 940 (2.93 GHz) come with the locked multiplier , which determines the core clock frequency . Accordingly, Intel dynamic speed technology will not be supported . Related Products :
