OOooooooooo, the sky is falling....let's go hang Intel for lying.

Of course, what everyone is missing is that this erratum was documented by Intel on Dec. 20, 2007, so this is NOTHING NEW!!!! Then again, why not get outraged today by something that's been known for almost two months....and has been public for as long.

As for the "rumor" that was linked, if one spends $1000 on a cpu, why in the heck would one then cheap out and buy a 4-layered PCB motherboard, an admittedly cheaper motherboard, vs. a higher quality built 6-layered PCB motherboard? That's what I gleaned from the "rumor", that the cheaper built mb's have some signal noise problems with cheaper built motherboards:

"...issues with quad-core code-named Yorkfield processors occur on affordable mainboards that utilize 4-layer print-circuit boards (PCBs) and do not affect expensive platforms that are based on 6-layer PCBs."

"Since many mainboards based on Intel P35 chipset that are based on 4-layer PCB are already available and are utilized by large system vendors.... As a result, Intel has decided to slightly alter its chips so that they could work in existing infrastructure..."

I notice nowhere mentioned is any problem with X38/X48 based motherboards in that rumor....only P35 mbs.....

So, cry the sky is falling........cause it ain't. It's only hysterical anti-Intel fanbois crying about nothing new.........
