I doubt they ever signed an NDA. Intel can't control the 1000's of resellers out there.

What they can control is the handful of distributers that sell to the reslllers/retailers.

I'd be curious which distributer sold to the OP's reseller and find out who else buys product from them.

Who knows, maybe Intel is even allowing the distributers to ship early so the channle can start getting stocked in preperation for ther launch.

Intel's main concern is what the PC OEM's do vs. what the boxed processor reseller's do.
