The source claims that the NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement, the Non-Proliferation Treaty), Intel's worth nothing, since coming chipsets H55 and H57 (Ibex Peak) were spotted on sale in Taiwan. Taiwanese vendors suddenly arranged the shelf motherboards Asustek, and even the Intel, despite the fact that the producers had to sign a nondisclosure agreement prohibiting such activities prior to the scheduled start of the chipset, which will be held on January 7. Manufacturers of motherboards very upset, because Intel only with great difficulty forced them to sign the NDA, prohibiting the publication of any information on the chipsets to the official announcement of Intel. Typically, manufacturers are not required to sign this type of NDA.

Intel said that she was nervous, because the new chipsets are the first platform, Nehalem, focusing on the main market. They are also the first chipset with integrated support for Flexible Display Interface (FDI), a new architecture of Intel, which recognizes that integrated graphics chipset moved from the processor.

It seems the company Asustek has just lost a blue bird of happiness, violating the embargo. She claims that it complies with all its agreements with Intel and not authorized any of its agents to sell H55 and H57 products. However, there is no explanation for the fact that Intel motherboards are also sold. After all, if Intel can not even manage their own channel, why other vendors have to worry about this? Intel said that its new technology excite great interest and excitement well before the official release. Currently, Intel motherboards are no longer sold in retail stores in Taipei.
