every forum pretty much. If you have been interested in getting one, and following along with the launch this is not a controversial statement. It's not 100% sure its the chips fault though, bios issues are still running rampant nearly 5 weeks later, and each new bios is changing performance significantly. It will take a while before everyone knows exactly where they stand.

Forums are not reputable sources unless it is insiders leaking info that can be verified through other means.

They might not be definitive sources, but they can definitely be the canary that triggers an investigation by somebody more authoritative.

As it stands, this mine has some dead canaries.

claim:

supposed justification:

> ...every forum pretty much

That's hearsay not actual justification. And intel has a reputation for dirty play.

The justification was for the statement that chips aren't hitting their clocks. That is not a controversial statement.
