Intel to have built-in OCing

[Brians256]

Well, heck! Throw in some software development too! From my perspective, dynamic overclocking is a nightmare waiting to happen. Can you say unpredictable? I knew you could. There are so many bugs just WAITING to happen that won't be reproducible because of unpredictable timing. You think that software is hard to get high quality now? Just throw in a couple of cores and dynamic timing. They will NEVER reproduce your bug to fix it.

more test and validation work ?
sounds good to me, keep those thermal tools flowing

the dynamics do sound daunting

jeez PB, you make OCing out to be something even an IT challenged mossback could do
which is quite the point I agree
Ed has good insights

Well unless you have fixed hardware you're never going to get things stable on all machines anyway, I don't see this making things much more difficult really. My personal preference is to just code for fixed hardware.
