Many could unlock the fourth core Of phenom II X3 processor. It was considered that the activation of the fourth core was possible only on processors, released on the fourth week 2009, but recently processors released in 2008 could also unlock their fourth cores. Naturally, not all processors can unlock the fourth core , and even if unlocked not all can preserve stability .
Today appeared a new interesting experiment on how to activate 6MB cache in the third level for the phenom II X4 810 (2.6 GHz) processor, which regularly must have only four mega-byte of cache in the third level.
The motherboard ASRock AOD790GX/128M with the 1.40 bios version for this processor unexpectedly showed the presence of 6 MB cache instead of regular 4 MB. The presence of 6 MB cache was also noted in the system performance.
The author of experiment, failed in revealing the contributing factor for the additional cache volume , but after resetting the CMOS , the processor returned to the standard characteristics with four MB cache in the third level. Related Products :
