Intel plans to deliberately limit Sandy Bridge overclocking

Ahh! The sky is falling! Go outside and look! Ahhh!

Seems with each launch we get similar threads. Let's wait for retail boards and processors and see what's what. Who knows, maybe we'll see a spree of $300 unlocked chips and we'll just downclock the DMI bus to adjust the memory frequencies.

+1 ^^

but i agree that the slide is quite disturbing compared to the usual "rumors"

another way to create a buzz ?

Yep, enthusiasts have always been talking about upcoming products, mostly for exchanging ideas and getting prepared for the future. But I've noticed a disturbing new trend lately, it seams to be the new kind of physiological warfare that starts with some known propaganda sites, and keeps going by few known people in this forum (and other forums too).

The purpose seams not to be learning and exchanging ideas about upcoming products any longer, it is more about speculating on the negative sides and bashing a product before it gets out.

In my opinion this new trend has started by a few ATi-PR-agents, but apparently the effect was good, and now we see AMD-PR-agents are using the same kind of propaganda too.

Thought I give it to you that there might be still some "undercover" reps (from multiple companies) posting here without outing themself for whom they work. (nedjo was the last one, but he got exposed )

Ok so let me get this straight another thread talking about how intel is planning on killing overclocking? mmmmhmm

Intel: Lol we're intel and overclocking is bad
<AMD Releases Black Edition chips that sell better than non BE>
Intel: Lol jk we really do like overclocking see look at our K and QX series chips! See we want your money too!
