Overclocking Intel processors has been strictly bclock (previously FSB) affair for quite some time with the multipliers being locked at whatever was needed to meet the rated specification of the chip. That is unless you were one of the minority that bought the top of the line Extreme Edition processors that were unlocked and may very well have been made of unobtainium based on the pricing structure of the Extreme Edition. At 1000 bucks and up (in the past) these chips were the only ones in the product stack that had "Unlocked" multipliers to allow the user the opportunity to maximize their overclock by working with both the clock multiplier and core clock speeds.In this regard the folks at AMD have really catered to the market with the Black Edition CPUs that are unlocked and sold in large quantities to satisfy a need while trying to bring in more of the market sector. Heck they even put out a Limited Edition high leakage chip called the "TWKR" to push the brand identification level higher in the overclocking community.But I digress as this is not an article about AMD processors, but the new K-Spec unlocked CPU's from Intel, the Core i5 655 and i7 875. These "Overclocking Enabled" processors allow for added flexibility when it comes time to overclock your CPU if you are so inclined. You gain the ability to increase the multiplier without impacting memory speed or the base clock frequency of 133Mhz to reach for the limits of the processor. Now these processors are not being released tonight, but expect them to be available soon enough. Let's take them both for a spin and see how they perform in relation to the current crop of Intel's processors.
