I wonder if they were under NDA too.

Cool, show us the new one.

Your competitor is well informed about your upcoming Nehalem CPUs a long time ago. Even if they had no sources to know the results, they could estimate the performance of Nehalem much better then most of us here(some XS members were very accurate in their predictions about Nehalem).

About the "hurting" part, the results can only hurt your competitor more since it has nothing to compete against Nehalem.

In the past 3 years your employer used to publish lots of results of their upcoming products. If you haven't forgot, there were thousands of Conroe ES's floating around months before it was officially released, so your competitor was very well informed. Pity, they were unable to do anything, just like they are unable to do anything about Nehalem now.

Nope, you were speaking about how the pre-release informations are going to hurt your employer.

Well, we are not your competitor, we are your customers. Your competitor have an informations from insiders, just like you have.

Well, there are. Those who are publishing results and informations of unreleased products have high reputation here on XS. In that regard we must give a credit to JC.

Oh. What can you say about Intel publishing results of unreleased Yorkfield/Wolfdale CPUs, and it's unavailability months after it is being released. Only QX9650 were available, which are affordable for a very few rich customers. It is like a lot of kids watching other kid eating an ice-cream. That kind of sucks more, isn't it?
Puts on mod hat hopefully for the last time in this thread.
Did you read my post? If not please read it again.
I said the man is owed our respect even if we disagree with certain points he made. I do NOT want to see this turn into a "Lets bait and bash the Intel guy"
I mean that and am VERY serious.
Let it go please.
Thanks for reading.
