    How many people have posted on XS complaining about their dud ES chip, especially during the pre-release or hot-off-the-presses marketing phase?

    The difference is that Intel isn't going to give out "duds" to people who they want to tout their new chips on-line. The ES chips in the marketing build-up are well binned and not necessarily representative of retail. As we have already seen with some people getting less than stellar results with these chips retail already.

    It's just common sense that ES chips passed out for marketing purposes are going to be above average or well above average.
