Intel plans to deliberately limit Sandy Bridge overclocking

[terrace215]

Delay of couple of months is nothing alarming.By the time Q1 comes and Llano launches,all the quirks would be ironed out and BD will have a solid node to flower on

Llano ain't launching in Q1. Ontario is.

As of now, all that is promised for Llano is shipments (of CPUs NOT systems) in H1. If things get back on track, you might see a Q2 launch, if not, Q3+.

And you don't disclose a mere "quirk" publicly after posting a decent financial quarter-- it's gotta be bad if they feel they must disclose it now, despite the effect they know that disclosure will have on the analysts & investors & potential customers.
