Yes, as a matter of fact :)

I've missed that too. Probably another misunderstanding. Pulling sales of new 1155 based CPUs due to lack of 1155 motherboards to use them with != actual problem with the CPUs.

Was driver work that wouldn't be applicable under vmware. But thanks for asking :)

In America, probably :)

The board bricked itself after two weeks of OS development work (lots of reboots).

I'm understandbly testy with my h67 board bricked and apparently no way to get a replacement for months. Paid top dollar for a cpu I can't even use in the mean time.

I guess that's how you say, sorry I see you must be right? BTW, Anand did another follow up article still implicating the h67

No, probably not. My previous quote explicitly mentioning *all* chipsets was from an updated conference call not the initial report. Official conference call trumps anonymous CSR info.

That CSR is probably wrong. microcenter has pulled all h67 motherboards too, and other sites are explicitly mentioning h67 as included in the recall. For example: http://techreport.com/discussions.x/20326 "Intel just held a conference call to talk about the Sandy Bridge chipset problems ...

I wouldn't come to that conclusion. Doesn't make sense to sell any socket 1155 CPUs if there are no motherboards one can buy without having to worry about the defect. So it's entirely consistent that the affected cpus&motherboards are pulled. The fact that the h67 motherboards are pulled...

If that were true, then how come newegg has pulled all their gigabyte h67 based motherboards from their website? My gigabyte h67ma-ud2h bricked over the weekend, and now my RMA is in limbo. Newegg says they'll just be refunding me my money. Meanwhile looks like I have a 2600k cpu that I can't...

That would be what I'd guess from the xbitlabs article on the 5870. Do you have any more concrete info you can share on the 58xx? None of the choices seem to be worth an upgrade to me frankly. Yes, of the two current gen 30" displays I've looked into, the hp doesn't even have HDMI and the dell...

ah heck off. The cards being referred to in the comment about HDMI were ATI evergreen class cards, which don't do HDMI 1.4. The spec sheets for ATI evergreen class cards list 1920x1200 as the max resolution for HDMI. See for example AMD's own posted specs...

The problem is, the wikipedia information is a bit contradictory. The wikipedia page I cited in my first post claims the whole evergreen family is 10-bit capable. On closer inspection that claim seems to just be extrapolation based upon the AMD slides that indicate that the evergreen class GPUs...

The info that indicates that 10-bit works via evergreen gpus makes no mention of firepro. HDMI would be a non-starter for a 30" 10 bit display since it wouldn't support 2560×1600 Thanks anyways. I asked here as anandtech had the most in-depth review of color performance, gamut, etc. From the...
