Any idea if the Celeron N3450 is functionally the same as the x7-E3950? I'd like to follow along but for some reason every time I find a product listed as x7-E3950 it also shows as Celeron N3450 in the spec list, with the only exception being the UP^2 which costs a fortune to ship here.
Hi Graham, The Atom E3900 series and Celeron N3450 / N3350 are all Apollo Lake, so they have a lot in common. But what I'm not sure of is what their actual differences are in these contexts. As I mentioned, the original PoC from the Ucode Research Team did this on an N3350, and I was able to get it working on an E3950 (without any specific hardware changes to the PoC). So I think its definitely worth trying it on an N3450 (just no guarantees). I do have an N3350 UP^2 as well that I never fully tested; I will try it on this as well during the series. I am interested to hear if this works for you! The first 1 or 2 videos might not work for your platform (building a custom bios), but at the very least you should be able to modify your bios (tutorial 3 or so) to enable DCI. The TXE exploit should work because I believe that TXE should be compatible. Make sure you have a hardware SPI flasher in case you brick your machine!
Bruh I could not find any information online about this. I like the idea of pushing out custom microcodes to the system. Only because I want to learn more about bare metal programming and also I want to overclock my MacBook. Not cause it makes sense but because it’s extremely difficult.
Can you use the microcode to lock/unlock the CPU speed limits and how about disabling the ME and other security backdoors a certain "Snowwy" person said existed?
i have an "off topic" question , have you ever dealt with vm based protections ? i'm making deep researches on some of the famous drm outside that i want to share and discuss .
Very cool, hopefully you can find the time to continue with the series
You are the man, Stan.
This is a cool video, I can't wait for more!
good luck, I hope to see more videos on the topic

I thought the ME runs in a separate processor in the PCH.

how to hack microcode to overclock non k?
