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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>The company expects to begin delivering the updated version of the chipset to customers in late February and expects full volume recovery in April.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Glad to know that Intel is being pro-active with their quality assurance policy.
