Fw: AMD including hidden overclocking functionality in tri- / quad-core Phenoms?

Straight up, this one sounds just too bizarre to ever be true, but we
suppose (almost) anything goes when talkin' AMD. Now that you're
suitably skeptical, word on the street has it that AMD's triple- and
quad-core Phenom processors posses a half dozen "hidden pins" which can
enable painfully easy overclocking when paired with the right chipsets.
Yeah, this sounds way too much like some sort of Up / Down / Up /
Down / Select / Start fantasy boost, but apparently a 2.8GHz Black
Edition CPU can be taken to 3GHz with a SB700-equipped motherboard or
an even more tantalizing 3.2GHz when used with a SB750. As expected,
the release date for this tech is listed as unknown, but maybe that's
just some code trying to tell us we're really stuck in the Twilight
Zone.
