Intel had to stop shipping Cougar Point chipsets when one if the brands under the series was found to have a defect. The company has since opted to begin shipping rest of the line again. Intel is also planning to start shipping out the new Sandy Bridge chipset as early as next week.
Intel found that some of the Cougar Point series’ chipsets had bad six serial-ATA ports. Thus stopped all shipments of the series in hopes to stop the disaster in the making.
I have to say that I am happy to hear that Intel might not have as of big of loss like it predicted that it would. This could be good news for the computer industry as well. I hope that Intel can save some of that presumed lost money, it could help set start 2011 as a better year for Intel as a whole.
