Overclocking. You can't overclock them like you use to because you have some many things running on the same frequency.

If you're familiar with the AMD Black Edition processors, this is the same concept. On locked processors, you can only change the multiplier downwards, like from 16 to 15. On these, you can change them upwards as well, making overclocking extremely easy.Originally Posted by omgitswes
A quick overview on Sandy Bride. I really don't think I'm missing too much since all I will be doing is gaming. It is looking pretty nice though
I don't understand Intel's numbering either. Why is this socket 1155, it would probably make some think that they can put an 1156 processor in it
What's an advantage in having an unlocked CPU?

it won't, seeing as how very few games are CPU intensive now. So unless you have an old processor, your CPU won't be a bottleneck if you have a good GPU.

can't wait until it goes on sale.
I was going to pre-order but there were too many red flags for me to go through with it. As soon as they announce a Honeycomb upgrade, (which Im sure will happen) Im on it. People are already getting shipping confirmation starting on the 14th.
