Some Intel CPUs may no longer perform to their maximum straight out of the box

The company has remained tight-lipped about the SDSi initiative, whereby customers will pay an additional fee to activate certain features built into their processors. Although Intel has acknowledged the existence of the scheme, it has so far offered no specifics as to which capabilities can be toggled on or off and which CPUs will be compatible.

Oh boy, here we go, when hardware is turned into a service where we have to pay fees just to get the whole package to work...

If Intel's gonna do it, AMD and Nvidia are likely to as well, this can only get worse unless the hand is chopped off here and now. This crap shouldn't even be a thought in the first place. 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
