Intel finds Sandy Bridge chipset design flaw, shipments stopped & recalls beginning
the problem requir`g the “silicon fix”`s bad news in the chipset business, & sadly that’s what Intel`s announcing. Its new Intel 6 Series chipset, Cougar Point ,`s`en found to`ve the flaw, someth`g to do w/ the SATA controller. Intel`s indicat`g Z the ports can “degrade over time,” lead`g to poor i/o performance down the road.
