Abstract
A CPU core unlocking device applied to a computer system is provided. The core unlocking device includes a CPU having a plurality of signal terminals and a core unlocking executing unit having a plurality of GPIO ports connected with the corresponding signal terminals of the CPU. The GPIO ports of the core unlocking executing unit generate and transmit and transmit a combination of core unlocking signal to the signal terminals of the CPU to unlock the CPU core.
Claims12
A computer system, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) having a plurality of signal terminals;
- and
- a core unlocking executing unit having a plurality of general purpose transmit output (GPIO) ports connected with the corresponding signal terminals of the CPU;
- wherein the GPIO terminals of the core unlocking executing unit generate and transmit a combination of core unlocking signal to the signal terminals of the CPU to unlock the CPU core.
A motherboard with a CPU core unlocking function cooperating with a CPU, comprising:
- a CPU socket having a plurality of signal terminals for being connected with the CPU;
- and
- a core unlocking executing unit having a plurality of GPIO ports connected with the corresponding signal terminals of the CPU socket;
- wherein the GPIO terminals of the core unlocking executing unit generate and transmit a combination of core unlocking signal to the CPU via the signal terminals of the CPU socket to unlock a CPU core.
