If you're unsure about binning, consider this basic scenario. Intel sets guidelines for performance, power use, and heat output for its Core i5 CPUs. If a CPU doesn't meet those criteria, it might be reclassified as an i3 processor. Since Core i5 chips have four cores while i3 have two, Intel could disable two cores—possibly faulty—to market it as a two-core model. If the disabled cores aren’t actually defective, can you somehow reactivate them? You’d probably need to accept a lower clock speed, but what if...
The last time I saw such actions was during the Phenom era: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/phenom...-core.html. You might be able to try it, but I think modern motherboard BIOSes are likely too strong to succeed.
They usually destroy the nonworking devices, leaving nothing left to turn on again.
This was mostly a novel concept for those processors—especially the Athlon II and Phenom/Phenom II X3 lines—since AMD preferred keeping components that performed well. It’s unlikely you could achieve similar results with today’s technology.
They spend time selling a processor that doesn’t meet its full potential.
I still own an ASUS Formula V from back then, and it includes a core unlocker option since AMD often disabled cores to market cheaper alternatives. A bit of nostalgia for that time!
