Notebook major Toshiba announced a recall-drive of all notebook PCs it sold that are based on Intel's Huron River platform, consisting of processors based on Sandy Bridge architecture and Cougar Point chipset, after Intel announced a critical design flaw with the chipset. In a consumer notice, Toshiba advised current owners of affected notebooks to return the notebooks for a full refund. It also asked users to backup data and remove all personal, confidential, or proprietary information before returning the units.

Affected models include variants of Satellite A660, Satellite A665, Satellite A665 3D Edition, Satellite E305, Satellite L655, Satellite M645, Portege R835, Qosmio X500, Qosmio X505. Details of which exact model numbers are affected, are tabled below. This Monday (1/31), Intel announced the discovery of a critical design error of the chipset that drives Intel's Sandy Bridge processors. In some cases, the SATA ports of the chipset will degrade in both performance and functionality. Intel had announced a massive component recall drive to pull out affected components from manufacturers.

Dear AMD,

They have set the stage for you. All you have to do now is give us something of close performance to Sandy Bridge's top end (not the last gen. stuff) and don't over sell it with hype. That and get an advertisement team and educate the masses that you still exist.

Intel seems to hell bent on shooting itself in the foot this year and just letting you run with the ball. All you have to do make a few key blocks and don't fumble.

I am on Bulldozer's side for now out of sheer curiosity, so don't screw me. I also promise that if I done go with Bully after the release and review, I will never use the "At least AMD didn't give me broken stuff" comment.

It's not really that big of deal, the amount of people actually effected is small. Also never underestimate AMD's ability to screw things up, see Phenom 1.

Everyone is still up in arms about this, it is not a big deal, especially given the majority were sensible and used the Marvel controllers.

your forgetting that Toshiba is not the only vendor that has products based on Sandy Bridge processors.

It might not be a big deal for you but it is for all the manufacturers that have to recall their hardware. its a massive snowball effect. but saying that. how many average joes will still buy a non returned Sandy Bridge laptop because they dont know of this issue?
