Intel Fixes VT-d Bug in Sandy Bridge-E CPUs

[singh1982]

Hi Guys,

What does this mean. See link Intel Fixes VT-d Bug in Sandy Bridge-E CPUs

Well, I am confused. I interpret it as the CPUs available till very recently of Sandy Bridge platform had buggy VT-D

Any pointers/Inputs?

Has anyone tried VTD on i7-2600K?

Thanks

No.

Sandy Bridge and Sandy Bridge-E are different.

i7-2600k lacks VT-d. i5-2500k lacks it too.

Apparently, the new Sandy Bridge-E processors (i7-39**) which came out have VT-d, which was again bugged. This is what has been fixed. SBE costs a bomb. 25k for a X79 motherboard and then 38k for the processor. Got it?
