Intel's Anti-Overclocking Technology Simplified

Posted by michael on from the why-johnny-can't-speed dept.

John Thorensen writes "Found a fantastic article on Intel's recent Anti-Overclocking patent at Fastsilicon.com. Worth the read, as it also explains some of the technical and ethical issues of overclocking. Good to see that some tech journalists can still write material understandable by an average person."

    If overclocking your poor processor to its death is ethical, then so is driving your herd of sheep off a cliff, or nailing your dog's feet to the floor so you can use it as a doorstop.
    And those people who post a link to slashdot without providing a mirror or cache just so they can watch some innocent, defenseless server get turned into a smoking carbon shell are no better.
    You know, IC's and other silicon-die based products have rights as well.

    This has been a PSA from FETS (Fanatics for the Ethical Treatment of Silicon)
