  Holy slows, Intel. Forcing replacements isn't a selling strategy...or, is it? #BadDesignIsBad

  So you've narrowed the range of the slowdown to 17%-23% from 5%-30% that's stated in the article? Either way we're screwed but wanted to cite the more accurate estimates.

  If purchasers of 'Intel Inside' hardware don't have legal claims against the the retailer they bought their kit from (in the UK) or Intel itself - why not? Surely this is covered by (UK again) Consumer Rights Act https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/regulation/consumer-rights-act … - and you can't sign legal rights away.

  Worst case this will be leverage in Intel's hands to roll out LGA1151-400.
