First 3 becomes four cores, 2 become 3 or 4 cores, now, unlock the multi too?

Wow, nice find! I wish I had an unlocked proc to play with now!

Neat, though relatively useless. Since AMD is making the highest of each family BE, getting an unlocked processor is relatively cheap (as opposed to the FX and EE lines).

Also, I'm curious as to the (likely) detriment of having the L3 cache used solely by core 0.

I am dissapointed it doesn't involve using a graphite pencil...

I think that was the time when THW really standout compare to any other techsites. Good old days...

Well hardware isn't a really geeky thing these days.

These days, OC'ing is available after doing simple math and pressing a button.

Back in those days...

Be happy with your i7!

I have no i7...

I posted this elsewhere but it didn't seem to attract any interest for some reason. I guess people like to buy BEs. Dekasav made an excellent point though.

Well, I prefer non-BE editions... cheaper by a bit and it has unlimited multis going the other way
