Sandy Bridge CPU Upgrade Software

As has happened before for the CPU G6950, G6951 unlock able to purchase a payment code, Intel is preparing to release an upgrade for three Sandy Bridge CPU: 2102 i3, i3 and Pentium 2312M G622. The upgrade will be purchased for $ 50 and can be done by software.

For 2102 Core i3 talking about an increase in clock speed from 3.1GHz to 3.6GHz, which essentially turns the CPU in a i3 2153 and translates into a performance boost of about 11-15%.
To the Core 2312M i3, instead you get an extra 1 MB of L3 cache and an increase in clock speed from 2.1 GHz to 2.5 GHz, which essentially turns the i3 i3 2312M-2393M, and a means a performance boost of about 10-19%.
For the Pentium G622 increased clock speed brings the CPU to 2.6GHz to 3.2GHz, which will give you better performance by about 15-23%, making your G622 a G693.

The Sandy Bridge CPU upgrade it really seems pointless, given that the cost of the G622 is only $ 65 and $ 115 you can buy much more powerful CPU. It 'clear that these cards are intended to upgrade pre-assembled PC, where the average user certainly is not going to disassemble the hardware to replace the CPU with a more powerful. This is especially useful for mobile CPUs (i3 2312M) where now the majority of notebooks use a BGA package type (CPU or directly soldered onto the motherboard).
Will do a little 'smile savvy users, especially those used to perform over clocking, the fact of having to re-buy for $ 50 features virtually already in our possession. On the other hand, the CPU Versioning policies are well known and allow Intel to reduce production costs.

Considering that you upgrade software, it is no wonder that piracy landings also, indirectly, in the hardware world.
