BTW kad smo kod onog francuskog časopisa komentirali kako nema nikakvih slika ni ništa. Izgleda da ima slika (našao u gore linkanom škotovom videu), te da su fakat imali engeeniring sample (on to uzima kao činjenicu) i neku ghetto mbo

Google prijevod o NDA i nabavljanju primjerka

Non-Disclosure Agreements allow two partners to exchange confidential information. Concluded between two companies, the NDA represent an important tool to protect the strategy of a company. First of all, there is an obvious detail that many seem to ignore: an NDA is not a law, it is a mere trade agreement between two parties. No one is bound to comply with it if he has not signed it. Readers may think that the NDA apply to everyone from the moment a builder has decided it unilaterally shows how this system has perverted relations with the press. Formerly intended to protect industrial secrets, the NDA is now a formidable means of control which allows to include the media in the marketing plan. And the results exceed all hope.

For example, AMD did not hesitate in the past to muzzle the press with an NDA "running" several months after the sale of some of its APU. Despite this aberrant situation, the overwhelming majority of the media nonetheless respected it to the letter. More blatantly: Intel's Kaby Lake processors have been on sale in Asia since mid-November in large quantities. We have also obtained ours by this means, at the normal selling price and delivered within 48 hours by DHL. If some media have used this channel to publish timid preview, one may wonder what is holding back the bulk of the troops. The fear of violating a virtual NES and the big eyes of Intel? The absence of the unnecessary Z270 chipset can not be a valid excuse. On our side, we believe that journalists do not have to sign NDAs supposed to apply between "partners" with builders.

On that of the AMD Ryzen in particular

We were able to read on some English-language forums comments written in this way: "How damn those naughty French can have access to AMD Zen ?!". And that's a good question: why do not we and others? And the corollary: can we trust them? First and foremost, the difficulty is not having access to a Zen AMD. The Engineering Sample now circulates widely and we know several other journalists - and some overclockers - who have been able to perform tests on a functional platform. Not to mention the "secret" presentation that took place at AMD in early December in the presence of many happy few of the world press. Today the real challenge is to have access to an AMD Zen * ET * to reach agreement with the source to publish the results. For that, months (or years) of cronyism as well as a visceral tendency to paranoia are not enough: it is essential that your source has the absolute certainty that it will not be compromised in case you come Big eyes.

In most newsrooms, however, there is no shortage of brands. Among them are the call to N + x, not necessarily as jumpy as you on protecting sources. If you do not have a hierarchical superior, it remains the weapon of mass destruction: the stop of the tap to samples. Given the price of graphics cards and processors, this would entail a considerable financial burden that hardly any editorial wants to take the trouble to assume. And even if a media decides to devote a substantial budget to buying all the products tested, the delays of sale would make it very difficult to publish the tests "0-day", indispensable to survive on the Internet. Finally, last very effective lever: the pub. All websites derive the bulk of their revenue, it offers a formidable pressure - see a right of life or death - to the biggest advertisers / builders. CPC Hardware is fortunate to be unaware of any pressure of this kind, which allows our sources to trust us fully. No doubt that the past is also in our favor: some observers just recalled our preview of the Athlon 64 in 2003 on x86-secret.com, 8 months before its release. For the occasion, we offer you the non-blurred photo of the platform of the time. Rendez-vous in 2030 for that of Zen!

...and some overclockers. Vjerujem da ga onda ima onaj The Stilt tip (piše na nekim forumuma poput overclock.net). Da ga ima samo jedan overclocker onda bi to vjerojatno bio on.
