I posted somewhere yesterday how I couldn't find a ASUS MAX IV EXT anywhere on the web - actually, wasn't much of any SB boards on the web last night. Now we know why - ratbastards

Thank god I cancelled my ASUS order before the announcement ...... phwew

Oh yeah, boards aren't worth 2 cents now, rma is indeed required.

UPS is also going to make a killing on this ............. :laughing:

Bad Karma for f(l)ucking with bclocking?


On another note, is intel going to pay to recover the losses for the board manufacturers?

hmm.... 8 million chipsets sold, so 8 million boards to be shipped. Might not be a bad time to stock up on UPS stock this quarter....

Lets take an conservative average of $4 to ship each board. That's $32 million right there. Then take into account that most of these will be shipped two or more times. end user>manufacturer>end user. That doesn't include if the boards have to go to intel. So in theory that is $96 million in additional revenue for the shipping companies in a quarter. But you got to offset that by the decrease in revenue from the shipments that are halted now because manufacturing halted. Either way it will probably make a nice quarter for one of the shipping companies.

egg is sending prepaid UPS lables out by the bushel :laughing:

Just another though, sould be a good quarter for the dudes that make those styrofoam balls as well

I was just wondering how big of a party AMD is throwing right now? Bulldozer will be out not much after SB is back on the market.

Guess that means they will cross ship ?
