It certainly beats having to buy a different CPU. If I need vt-d (or other extensions at the time), I'd gladly give up the overclock during then to be able to use them. I definitely agree about knowing and accepting the risks. I do think they used it to artificially tier their product line, as the HEDT CPUs on the X99 chipset don't have this limitation IIRC. It makes sense that they would worry about the viability of the virtual extensions, but for those of us that would use them would also (hopefully) know and accept the risks involved. ![]() Virtualization can also become unstable using C-States as well. ![]() ![]() Personally, I think it was an excuse (cripple) on their part to help sell more non-k high end CPUs.Ĭorrect. 18606632 said:If I remember correctly at the time, Intel stated that the reason for for the disabled extensions on the k series of CPUs was that they would become unsteady under overclocked speeds.
