The attitude of some guys (in this thread) is truly shocking. Over the years I often had access to hardware prior launch without signing NDA - still I did not post it in public. Do you guys even understand that people in this industry can lose their jobs because of your actions? And I'm not talking about individuals who give out hardware. It's the impact your information can have on the IT market in general.
This is actually a huge problem. From a distributor point of view I can see a significant impact from leaks on hardware purchases. Do you think it's good for the IT industry if customers hold off their purchases for months? Especially considering that leaks often don't reflect the actual performance or hardware details so potential customers get a wrong impression of what might come up in future.
It's very shortsighted from all pages who leak this kind of info to think this would be beneficial. For sure you will have your clickbait hype for a day but in the end you burn yourself if you play with fire. I can only hope that these people don't get support anymore in future. You can be sure that I use my contacts to spread out who to trust and who not to.
Talking in private with other overclockers - fine. Posting full reviews in public with performance numbers - nogo
The fact that Intel is very sloppy when it comes to NDA doesn't mean that it's the right thing to share everything in public. However, it's still Intels problem and if they want to pretend these leaks they have to take care of where they ship their CPUs prior launch and maybe start punishing ppl who break NDA.
