For starters not all NDA's are the same, so how do you know?
The ones in this industry, as they relate to pre-release hardware, they pretty much are standardized for legal reasons and efficiency.
Phynaz happens to be in the industry, and if purefun1965 is legit and not just some dude making up BS on the internet (it does happen, I heard about once or twice) then he most definitely is violating the terms of his employers NDA by making posts like this one:
the new chips we received:thumbsup: I looked at the leaked benches. they were similar to the first chips we tested. amd is back. for the life of me amd should release information. They can sell these like hotcakes.
There is a reason, it is not just by the strangest of luck, that there are hundreds of ES bulldozers out in the field right now for platform verification efforts and not a single other person who works on bulldozer in their job is here in the forums stating what purefun1965 is stating.
(they don't post because they know it violates their NDA...ergo either this guy really is violating NDA or is just making stuff up...I'm now voting for the latter because no one would actually be this daft on purpose)
