Today's headline hero starts as a 2-core processor. However, some Phenom II X2s can be successfully unlocked by AMD to become three- or even quad-core CPUs. (Occasionally, 4-core chips can unlock to 6 cores, but we'll cover that if we see records on such a CPU.) This is why HWBot's competitive database includes an entry for the number of active cores on a tested chip.
⤢ ВІДКРИТИFrench overclocker The Silver set four records specifically with a 3-core AMD Phenom II X2 560 BE. This distinction is crucial; for instance, you wouldn't be able to compete against a rival with an unlocked chip using a mere 2-core CPU.
The enthusiast earned all four gold awards in the CPU's model leaderboard.
