P67/H67 recall
http://newsroom.intel.com/community/...8152-c1-264102
The SATA2 ports are defective (SATA3 are fine). This what, the 3rd recall Intel has (Pentium FDIV and i820's MTH being the other 2)? Going to cost them a billion dollars (700 mill to fix plus 300 lost revenue). On top of that Nvidia&AMD settlement they're out 4 billion in just a few months. |

I don't think Intel produces any 6Gbps SATA chipsets, so any motherboards that have them are probably coming from 3rd parties, such as Realtek or VIA or somebody. Yousuf Khan |

On top of that Nvidia&AMD settlement they're out 4 billion in just a few months. It's only money, of which Intel has plenty. The bigger problem, and one you can't write a check to solve, is that the computer landscape that x86 has successfully bestrode like a colossus is changing at both low end (mobile devices displacing notebooks) and the low end of the high end (high volume servers that don't do much computation but that spend an awful lot of time waiting even while serving high volumes of traffic). You could talk plenty about all the possibilities, but no one really knows what's going to happen, and I'm sure Intel would prefer just to keep writing checks than to deal with such an uncertain future.

These chipsets include 2 6Gbps ports with some boards having 2 more from a Marvel chip. If want to read the details of the problem. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4143/t...point-sata-bug |
