Re: How can an on die memory controller be crippled by the MB? Bad BIOS settings, for one. Also, QPI is a high bit-rate protocol. Retries in the protocol due to single bit errors on a badly laid out motherboard can slow down performance as well. Lastly, the CPU itself is an early pre-production stepping. You can connect the dots, Pete. Anand's review is pretty clear that the newer boards greatly improve the memory performance. Re: Which would mean they still have issues and need to respin again. Besides if the samples were that bad, imagine how poor the yields must be. No kidding, Pete? Pre-production silicon might need a respin...? Intel is doooooommmmeeedd!
