Huge news about Nvida gpu's being faulty

This probably affects alot of machines on the market , way more then Nvidia will have you believe.

I know a couple MBP's that run incredibly hot under low strain , I wonder if this is why.

Eh, it's fine.

MacRumors has known since the 3rd, though. And we now know that it doesn't affect the MacBook Pros.

Wait, why aren't the Macbook Pros affected? Isnt all of the 8600M faulty?

It doesn't affect the MBPs? Do you have a link to an article stating that by any chance?
