What is the relationship between FSB and CPU core frequency?

Start here, it's a GREAT explanation...

FSB * Multiplyer = CPU Speed

EG: 333MHz FSB * 10x Multiplyer = 3.33GHz

Note: Most FSB are measured in speeds ranging in the hundreds of Mz, although they are sometimes stated as 1332, 1600, etc. If so, divide by 4 to get the actual FSB speed. [The FSB on intel chipsets is quad pumped, hence the divide by 4 operation.]

On newer systems, the equation is simplified to:

333MHz * Multiplyer = CPU Speed

Note the only way to OC now is to change the Multiplyer, as there is no more FSB.

Hello! Have you ever found the answer to this question?! I see this was asked nearly 6 years ago and still no one has answered you.

I have more questions about CPU and FSB in this thread I'll be happy of you join
