Doesn't matter who didn't sign the NDA, it matters that the company that did sign it sent the cpu to someone that is leaking. Therefore the original signer is breaking the NDA. The problem is Intel is taking this very serious especially now that their competition is strengthening. How would it be if Intel decided not to send any CPUs even to manufacturers anymore and forced them instead to have a company representative only use them under their guidance. Bet the OC boards would be terrible at a design level that couldn't be fixed.
