Some older Phenoms had disabled cores so they could sell an extra product line. Usually they get binned because of shit yields, but you could actually unlock the cores.

Also, pic related.

yeah its legit
>>
>>55591293
Yeah, download some more RAM while you're at it.
>>
>>55591293
Yes, you need to delete System32 to get rid of the lock on your extra cores
>>
>>55591293
Of course not. CPUs do not degrade over time, nor do they have redundant cores. It's just elaborate bait.

It's current year no one falls for that any more

This.

I bought one gambling on unlocking the extra core. Got a Phenom II X710 that was 2,6Ghz stock with 3 cores, ended up with 4 cores that I overclocked to 3,2Ghz.

I miss the times when overclocking your CPU made sense.
