Intel Identifies Chipset Design Error, Implementing Solution
Updates Outlook to Incorporate Effects of Error, Infineon Acquisition and Expected McAfee Acquisition
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of ongoing quality assurance, Intel Corporation has discovered a
design issue in a recently released support chip, the IntelR 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.（ｒｙ
