I heard that...

Think I am done investing into 1366 .... may grab a cheap 930 since this 960 I just grabbed is a total POS ....

But you have to hand it to Intel ...

They are holding all the cards and untill the AMD camp can bring the mojo

The new Intel boards will fly off the shelves I am sure .....

It will represent the only viable option for Global domination (Evil Laugh)

What about the rumors that intel plans on retarding the Sandy Bridge so it can't run as fast as it's physically capable of?

That would be a marketing disater and finacial suicide IMO

AMD would have the upper hand for sure ....

I doubt Intel would be that stupid , as we are not where the majority is, as far as overall sales, but we do represent a market share and dominate their Extreme addition sales ....

Yup the inital design of the X58 had safety features too to prevent it from passing the 130TDP envelope. I think we can all see that was a bust
