Shouldn't we be seeing new steppings for SB chips, to fix bugs, by now?

SB has been out for how long? Almost a year? Shouldn't we be seeing the second retail stepping by now? I find it hard to believe that SB shipped without any major bugs.

The bugs just happened to be on the chipset and not the cpu. 🙂

Haha correct.

Still the 2700k is coming, which *may* bring a new stepping along. Actually I am waiting for that, as much as Bulldozer and I'll see which one I get.
 
There are bugs, the 24 fps one comes to mind, but since that's not a biggie for most people they aren't in any huge rush to have fixed it I'm sure.
 
Cheaper to work around bugs than spin a new rev of the cpu. Which will introduce new bugs, of course.

Maybe we will see a new stepping once the E cpu's are out.
