[LOL] Sandy Bridge chipset recall
дураки те, кто покупают товар, только что появившийся на рынке
где-то напортачили наши ближневосточные друзья раз не нашли баг до релиза.
Самое время вспомнить первые Феномы. Тоже было эпично. Но АМД хотя бы сумело залатать дыру, хоть и пожертвовав львиной долей производительности.

A problem requiring a "silicon fix" is bad news in the chipset business, and sadly that's what Intel is announcing. Its new Intel 6 Series chipset, Cougar Point, has been found to have a flaw, something to do with the SATA controller. Intel is indicating that the ports can "degrade over time," leading to poor i/o performance down the road. All shipments have been stopped and a fix has been implemented for new deliveries, but it sounds like recalls will be starting soon for those with this ticking time bomb silicon within. It isn't a critical problem right now, though, so if you own a Sandy Bridge Core i5 or Core i7 system keep computing with confidence while looking for a recall notice, but it is bad news for Intel's bottom line: the company is advising a $300 million hit to revenue.
