Intel Readies Core i7-875K Processor with Unlocked Multiplier
In a bid to address the market of enthusiasts with a non-Extreme Edition processor, Intel plans to release Core i7-875K chip with unlocked multiplier, a mainboard maker has revealed. The central processing unit will be the most advanced chip for LGA1156 platform and will not be truly affordable.
Intel Core i7-875K processor will have the same specifications as the model 870: it will operate at 2.93GHz, will feature four cores with Hyper-Threading technology, sport 8MB of L3 cache and will be made using 45nm process technology. The only difference between the two central processing units (CPUs) will be unlocked multiplier on the 875K chip, which will allow overclockers and enthusiasts to easily boost clock-speed of the product without necessity to overclock other parts of their systems.
