, On Monday January 31, 2011, 12:01 pm ESTIntel is recalling an untold number of high-end desktop PCs because of a design flaw, and expects the problem to cost the company about $1 billion.
The design flaw affects the Intel 6 (formerly codenamed Cougar Point) support chip, which rides alongside the Sandy Bridge processor on motherboards. The flaw could cause performance problems with devices connected via Serial ATA ports, such as hard drives and DVD drives.
The chip has shipped in desktop PCs only since January 9th, and only Second Generation Core i5 and Core i7 quad core based systems should be affected. Those are among the most powerful PCs available, and are used for running processor-intensive applications like video rendering. Notebooks use a different support chip, codenamed Huron Bridge.
