3DNow.org ontving van een roadmap van een grote moederplank fabrikant, waarin wordt bevestigd dat er bij de Thunderbird en Duron middels 4 pinnetjes een multiplier-override kan worden geforceerd. De enigste vrees die nu overblijft is de mogelijkheid dat AMD deze pinnetjes mankeert op de produktie Tbirds en Durons. Het is daarom nog even afwachten of de multipliers daadwerkelijk getweakt kunnen worden:
I just received a confidential roadmap from a major motherboard manufacturer that indicates that there are four pins on the Duron and Thunderbird CPUs that will allow a clock ratio override.
By activating this feature, the motherboard is capable of dictating the multiplier to the CPU, which allows easy multiplier-based overclocking in addition to front side bus manipulation.
The manufacturer of the board cautions that these pins, marked as reserved on the spec sheet, may be disconnected or removed on production CPUs, but there is hope that AMD may retain them.
Looks like this will both enable in-between sockets for overclocking and solutions directly acessing this feature on the motherboard.
