Patch Released To Fix Sampling On Intel Core i7 Processors
A hotfix has been issued for those of you trying to do sample profiling on Intel’s Nehalem-based processors, the most recently released being the Intel Core i7 family. Previously, trying to do so would result in a blue screen of death (i.e. Windows crash, machine lockup and reboot). Not very useful. With this patch, sampling should work as usual.
