AMD Athlon 200GE very likely not overclockable
So that dual-core, four threaded budget AMD Athlon 200GE that was announced last week probably could have been really interesting as a low-cost processor. And everything that is low-cost, people like to tweak right. Well, from the looks of it, the AMD Athlon 200GE will not have unlocked multipliers/
If you peek at the Athlon 200GE product page, then according to the AMD website, the new processor would not be overclockable. From the top of my mind, I think this proc would be the very first ZEN CPU where the multiplier is locked, all other Zen-based chips are overclockable.
Aah, the days of unlocking an Athlon processor with a pencil, where are though :)

I can see AMD limiting overclocking and under clocking their graphics cards out the box to give the same misleading impression Nvidia gives.
They do themselves no favours allowing enthusiasts the ability to overclock but when they take it away people complain but if they keep the option open people complain about power.
Loose loose.

That's because these aren't enthusiast products... they're entry level budget products. You're basically complaining that a product can't do something that it shouldn't be able to do in the first place.

So now you're a proponent of having separate overclockable enthusiast chips and vanilla non-overclockable ones? I could have sworn i remember you beating up on Intel over doing this with K and non-K product lines. If I am mistaken, my apologies. That is though an often repeated criticism of Intel by the AMD crowd.
