Intel stopt met OEM CPU's?

Ik zag op de Heatsink Guide wat info over Intel die waarschijnlijk alleen nog maar boxed CPU's gaat bakken (en OEM's alleen voor grote afnemers):

Another rumor I caught: Intel plans to sell only boxed CPUs in the near future. The heatsinkless "OEM" CPU will then be reserved to the major system integrators like Compaq, Dell, Acer, etc. As soon as March/April '99, only boxed SECC2 CPUs might be available through "official" channels. Supposedly, AMD will be doing the same with the K7.

In my opinion, this is bad for everyone, and especially for overclockers, since the heatsinks Intel supplies with the boxed CPUs are not very efficient. Let's hope that enough "grey-market" OEM CPUs will make it on the market, so that overclockers can chose these, if they have the choice. Generally, the impact of Intel's move on the heatsink market will be significant.

Dat suckt natuurlijk weer zwaar, maar geen probleem, want die standaard Intel heatsink is zo weg met de juiste schroevendraaier...
