Intel P(H)67 悲剧鸟？！！有人中招没？

chenhehehehe

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.

大致意思是：
Intel发现6系列芯片组的SATA控制器存在缺陷。随着时间推移，端口输入输出性能会越来越差。
Intel现已停止出货6系列芯片组，再次出货的将是被修复的产品。
Intel有可能召回这些问题产品。对于已经买了新平台的用户，其实这并不是很严重的问题，安心使用等召回通知吧。
但对Intel来说这就是杯具了，公司将因此损失3亿刀。


CHH论坛的网友似乎在某些Intel高层的围脖上发现了进一步消息：
6系列芯片组的4个SATA 2.0接口使用时间长点后错误率会增加，系统会自动降低硬盘传输速度，从UDMA Mode 6到5到4到3到2。当然机器运行会越来越慢，直到最后主板无法识别硬盘。
悲惨的是，这个问题无法通过软件或BIOS修复，只能更换芯片。Intel计划2月开始批量供应新的芯片，3月应该可以有的换了。当然这会让Intel付出7亿刀的代价。
另外，需要说明的是这个问题只影响SATA 2.0，不影响SATA 3.0接口，也就是说把盘接到SATA3.0接口上不会碰到这个BUG。
