Re: Intel to kill CPU upgrade options from 2013, BGA only CPUs

If Intel will sell their processors with features locked, the mainboard manufacturers will only have to use 2-3 processors from Intel.

At 22nm Intel already makes processors using 45-60w of power... the Broadwell cpu will be at 14 nm so think how much power consumption that cpu will have... actually no need to think, here's the plan:



A version with up to 4 cores with 57w tdp and a version with 15w to replace atom or compete with AMDs vision cpus.

Sell same silicon,...
