Intel Identifies H67, P67 Chipset Design Error

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 31, 2011 - As part of ongoing quality assurance, Intel Corporation has discovered a design issue in a recently released support chip, the Intel® 6 Series, code-named Cougar Point, and has implemented a silicon fix. In some cases, the Serial-ATA (SATA) ports within the chipsets may degrade over time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives. The chipset is utilized in PCs with Intel's latest Second Generation Intel Core processors, code-named Sandy Bridge. Intel has stopped shipment of the affected support chip from its factories. Intel has corrected the design issue, and has begun manufacturing a new version of the support chip which will resolve the issue. The Sandy Bridge microprocessor is unaffected and no other products are affected by this issue.


The company expects to begin delivering the updated version of the chipset to customers in late February and expects full volume recovery in April. Intel stands behind its products and is committed to product quality. For computer makers and other Intel customers that have bought potentially affected chipsets or systems, Intel will work with its OEM partners to accept the return of the affected chipsets, and plans to support modifications or replacements needed on motherboards or systems. The systems with the affected support chips have only been shipping since January 9th and the company believes that relatively few consumers are impacted by this issue. The only systems sold to an end customer potentially impacted are Second Generation Core i5 and Core i7 quad core based systems. Intel believes that consumers can continue to use their systems with confidence, while working with their computer manufacturer for a permanent solution. For further information consumers should contact Intel at www.intel.com on the support page or contact their OEM manufacturer.


For the first quarter of 2011, Intel expects this issue to reduce revenue by approximately $300 million as the company discontinues production of the current version of the chipset and begins manufacturing the new version. Full-year revenue is not expected to be materially affected by the issue. Total cost to repair and replace affected materials and systems in the market is estimated to be $700 million. Since this issue affected some of the chipset units shipped and produced in the fourth quarter of 2010, the company will take a charge against cost of goods sold, which is expected to reduce the fourth quarter gross margin percentage by approximately 4 percentage points from the previously reported 67.5 percent. The company will also take a charge in the first quarter of 2011which will lower the previously communicated gross margin percentage by 2 percentage points and the full-year gross margin percentage by one percentage point.

这点问题英特尔会解决的，这个不算什么大的问题的

      这个电路设计问题源自于其SATA控制器上，主要表现为随着使用时间的推移SATA接口会出现性能严重下降甚至无法使用的情况。不过这个问题并不涉及Sandy Bridge处理器，仅与主板芯片部分有关。
　　国外媒体AnandTech亦针对这个问题进行了探究，据其称问题产生的原因是英特尔对SATA控制器的一个PLL时钟发生器设定了过高电压，造成其严重漏电。目前受影响的只是SATA 3Gbps接口，SATA 6Gbps暂未发现问题，用户可以先行使用SATA 6Gbps接口进行设备连接。
　　目前英特尔方面已经停止出货6系列主板芯片，并着手进行芯片的重新设计以修复SATA接口的错误，预计在2月底出货新主板芯片。由于是芯片设计的问题，如要彻底修复则必须更换芯片，用户可以联系相应厂商进行产品更换。据称，英特尔方面预计这个“严重的错误”将造成至少7亿美元的损失。

貌似说p67 ex4没bug？

貌似说p67 ex4没bug？

用P67 EX4上面的SATA 6G接口就不会导致硬盘丢失，但是P67芯片本身上面的那个电路元件一样会因为电流过大而被击穿，至于会不会影响其它主板功能就难说了。

这当然是个很大的问题，
影响也很大，至少要干扰内存涨价的步调。

Intel认错态度很好嘛

冲这个，表扬一下intel

这龟儿子老坑爹，这次倒霉了吧。

我还想3月初买P67呢，这下杯具了。
