Congratulations.

Now all you need is a 8800GTX. See if your "supplier" has any samples errrr... open box units for sale.

But who is the resller? I need to know who to stay away from.

Get your facts straight an INTEL ES chip remains the property of INTEL period. Possesion of the chip is governed by an NDA (ie a contract )between an individual or coporation and INTEL. Sale of the chip by an NDA holder is plain and simply theft of the intellectual property contained therewithin through breach of contract.

An ES sample cannot be sold, traded, or given away because it belongs to INTEL if you ever get one you are not entitled to by NDA contact INTEL immediately. The NDA expiration is typically 2 years after which the NDA holder gains title to the sample.

 

[AZHeat]

You are absolutely correct... it's like you've seen an NDA at Intel before

Either way - congrats to LordGeek, glad to see he was taken care of for his good deed!

 

[BaldEagle]

Congrats, Intel really did you right.

Wouldn't want to be the guys that sold the ES though.

 

[dasickninja]

NDA's for Core 2 Duo have expired. Or did you not know that?

 

[BaldEagle]

Not with INTEL but I have NDA's with other tech companies and they are very specific about their intellectual property rights.

 

[dasickninja]

Well if you haven't signed an Intel NDA or not even looked at it, how can YOU tell me anything?

 

[BaldEagle]

Didn't know what the expiration date is.

 

[dasickninja]

Alright then. You see my point? By the way, I wasn't flaming you, if you happen to feel put off.

 

[BaldEagle]

I have signed 16 NDA's for various projects and they all read generally the same our IP is ours unitil x date period. I doubt INTEL is more generous with their IP rights.

 

[BaldEagle]

There has to be more to INTEL's NDA regarding disposition or they wouldn't have been so happy to get their hands on the ES chip. Maybe somebody from INTEL can shed light on that.

 

[commanderspockep]

Congrats Lord. I think this thread can be safely locked now. Intel will probably take care of this nice etailer.

 

[AZHeat]

Actually, I believe there is more to the NDA that what Ninja is indicating...

The 6 month, 1 yr, or 2 yr expiration is typically to ensure the technology simply does not get into competitors hands.

There are typically other "riders" that indicate the product can NEVER be re-sold, etc...

This is because there is no warranty (it's a free ES...) what-so-ever on these ES chips - thus if one gets into the hands of someone (like LordGeek) and that chip dies, it can become a publicity nightmare for Intel (if the person were to be a jerk about it, etc... - problem is Intel can't tell where the chip really came from... could have been the person claiming Intel sold them a bad chip really robbed the truck the chip was on - an example not related to this ES example, but similar...)

Either way - those chips are never for re-sale...

I just wanted to say, ive been reading this thread from when it was just at page 2, and watched all the drama unfold, this being my 1st post here ever just wanna ask lordgeek 1 question.
