"Sandy Bridge" 出致命设计错误，因Cougar Point设计出错，主版和笔记本已停止或延期销售，RECALL或许不可避免

云濤夢筆

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.

据说是SATA接口发生问题，长期使用下， 出错率增加，系统速度明显降低,最后硬盘将会变至 "无法辨认"


不过各位入手了P67的朋友
请不用太紧张
这次问题据说是出在SATA 2.0接口
只要阁下是使用 SATA 3.0接口应该 "理论上" 是不影响的
如果INTEL决定 RECALL ， 估计会消耗 7亿 USD
据说专门负责6系列芯片 的 BUG委员会已经成立并开始讨论对策
而这次的BUG是不能靠软件，或BIOS更新来解决修复的，惟一方法就是更换芯片
还有就是Z68/X68或许不会受影响

各位....尽量节哀
一鞠躬.......

所有SANDY BRIDGE / 67系列主机板 不管是P 还是H 都已经全部下架
以此猜测，或许不止P67系列，而是全系列阵亡RECALL
