Intel Invents Overclock Deterrent Method

Mar 30, 2003, 06:12 PM

CHIP GIANT INTEL appears to have invented a cunning method which after detecting overclocking on a microprocessor can then prevent such overclocking by reducing the clock rate on a microprocessor.
The patent, 6,535,988 – was granted to Intel on March 18th last, and was invented by David L. Poisner at the Folsom, California site.

It claims to detect and deter overclocking of a signal for microprocessors which includes a detection circuit and a prevention circuit, which limits or reduces the performance of the processor when the circuit detects an overclocked signal.
