   Umm, I think you got that a bit backwards Julio, this is from Anands article:[COLOR=royalblue]Intel is toying with the idea of releasing an Extreme Edition version of every high-end Pentium 4 (e.g. Prescott 3.40GHz Extreme Edition), however nothing is set in stone yet. We have already passed along the information that an Extreme Edition processor would truly be worthy of the name if Intel would unlock the processors, allowing overclockers to freely push their processors. In order to combat remarking, we also passed along the suggestion that only lower multipliers be made available.[/COLOR]

I guess that happens when I'm falling asleep in front of my monitor but I still try to deliver some stories your way past 2am ;).As for the story Per points out, I have re-read that and I believe I'm interpreting Anand words right, or not?

   Sorry Julio, I did not read that "weblog" at first (I'm glad btw that Anand is bringing it back)In the review he only mentions that the P4 EE edition MIGHT get an unlocked multiplier but in his weblog it is staded very clearly that AMD has already decided...So now we will have to wait and see what Intel does...

   You know, it's kinda funny, I remember reading an "industry insider" (read: gosip) article late last year that said that both Intel and AMD were going to release unlocked processors sometime this year. :) I guess the gosips get it right every now and again ;)
