Oh dear, retailers/etailers expect a avalanche of returns.
Sandy Bridge seems to be somewhat of a rushed launch.

There's not much detail anywhere on what exactly the problem is and what people like me who have shiny new sandy bridge processors should do
quite glad I avoided Sandy now.
Oh FFS!!
I have a few pitchforks and (unlit) flaming torches spare if anyone fancies joining me to visit Intel HQ.

Why didn't I hold out for Bulldozer? I normally buy AMD, but figured I'd give Intel a go for a change. Can tell I'm going to regret it.

AnandTech have an excellent analysis of this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4142/i...-begins-recall
Good on them for such swift action.. Sucks to be them right now though! That's a costly bug.
Meh, aidanjt is troll, do not feed.
Intel suck - Gen 2 of their SSDs was fecked and now these new chipsets. Not impressed! Thankfully i've got two other controllers on board so I can switch easily enough. Hadn't noticed a problem at all at this point (in fact i've been very happy with my system since upgrading) and it does seem that it takes time to show up regardless.
