It's been said that the new Phenom ii x4's have 6 cores,2 disabled.Supposidly the 970 and 975 are actually Thuban based and not Deneb.
Was wondering if anyone has been able to unlock any?

Hi.

Unfortunately those CPUs only comes with OEMs rig, so, the results could not be reasonable for the cost of the rig.

Whats an OEM rig?

The processor itself cannot be unlocked?

OEM rig = DELL, HP, Lenovo, IBM, Gateway....

Ok, my mistake.

Those CPUs can't unlocked AFAIK, the only one is the 960T and is only available for OEM rigs.
