A:Answer Hello there. Unlocked processors are processors that are unlocked to custom tune the processor settings. If the processor is unlocked, you can adjust the power, voltage, core, memory settings, and other key system values for more performance. It helps speed up your components—and your gameplay. It can also help with processor-intensive tasks such as image rendering and transcoding.
For locked processors, the processor settings can't be custom tuned. You can know more about this here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000058654/processors.html. Thank you for choosing Intel
