And what Intel or AMD are legally obliged to do is irrelevant as well. What they do is.What people 'feel' about overclocking has no bearing on what Intel or AMD are legally obligated to do.
Where is the statement from Intel: "**** you, we will put out every stop possible to make overclocking our chips as hard as possible for average joe". Nowhere, yet that's exactly what they are doing for last 6 years.Where is the statement from Intel that says "we are committed to supporting overclocking, hence we give you adjustable BCLK and soldered chips?"
They certainly do, they would not introduce BCLK governor with Skylake if they were not thinking about overclocking. They would not tie BCLK to everything in Sandy Bridge after Westmere if they were not. They would not start putting TIM over 400mm^2 dies if they were not. I am not tripping about clocking CPUs to the limit even.I don't think Intel is actively thinking about overclocking one way or the other.
In Sandy Bridge line-up only 2500k/2600k/2700k were soldered iirc, the rest were using TIM from the very beginning. Low end Sandies were 100% TIM since 2011.One (nutty) thread over, it was revealed that new Sandy Bridge CPUs are being made with TIM, when the originals were soldered.
