Intel Recall Rumors?
We are getting news from several different sources that a recall might be about to move forward regarding Intel's ICH6R southbridge controller. We were told that there seems to be a problem with motherboards booting using the RAID controller of the silicon. We have calls into Intel, motherboard builders, and retailers to verify this and expect call backs very soon to verify this issue. Two sources in the industry did report that "something" is going on, but they would not give public statements to either confirm nor deny this stories we are hearing. Stay tuned. Also you will see that we used ABIT's RAID controllers without issue on their AA8 and AG8 motherboards that use the ICH6R.

Update: At this time we can confirm that NewEgg.com is removing questionable motherboards using the new Intel 925/915 chipset technology till further official information is gathered. Kudos to NewEgg for sacrificing a few sales in order to protect their customer's best interest.

Intel ICH6RW Recall Pending:
While we are unsure if it will be classified as a "recall", there is certainly going to many new Intel equipped motherboards pulled back from the channel as reported here on Thursday. The ICH6RW southbridge chipset supports the new motherboard 925/915 chipsets from Intel and were launched earlier this week. From information obtained today, it looks as though Intel is using a yet to be announced fabrication process on their ICH6RW chipset that is running them into some trouble due to leaking current. It was related to us that the leaking current could weaken the onboard battery prematurely causing BIOS resets, which would of course dump all the configuration settings in the BIOS back to default. With current RAID setups and such supported in the BIOS, a loss of BIOS settings could cause a no-boot situation as the RAID configuration is lost. Even though this could be easily fixed for the short term, it is surely an issue that Intel is currently taking seriously.

An estimated number of 100,000 units are to be impacted with this issue. Retailers and distributors are currently pulling many brands of 925/915 motherboards out of the channel. Our performance testing of 925/915 can be found here . We are still waiting on an official statement from Intel.

Fica o aviso para quem está à espera de comprar uma board destas, para esperar e ver o que acontece mais.
Alem disso, para quem quer mesmo um socket 775, há umas 865 com esse socket.
 
Última edição:
Engraçado a Abit se queixar do chip NForce3-250 quando mais ninguém se queixa, e depois lança uma gama de motherboards com chip 925 e 915 (para além também do 865) parecendo não se preocupar agora com os aparentes problemas do(s) chipset('s) intel...
 
Numerous bugs reported in Intel Prescott Pentium 4

A DAY AFTER Intel released five LGA 775 chips, the firm reported a list of bugs in its Pentium 4 Prescott produced at 90 nanometres.
The report, dated 22nd of June 2004, show some interesting examples of erratanotbugs. For example, R9 is described as "System bus interrupt messages without data which receive a hard failure response may hang the processor".

So far no workaround is available for this bug.

R16 describes a system hanging as a result of a fatal cache error, while R19 describes a parity error in the L1 cache which could cause the processor to hang. There's no workaround for this one yet, in this stepping.

Jah nem parece a INTEL k eu conheço...

E já agr os ultimos 2 CPU's são claramente paper launch, não vai haver kuase nenhuns disponiveis, pois com este stepping so se for para usares como fritadeira. :fart:

Faz lembrar os tempos idos de outra marca k conheço :rolleyes:
 
A ser verdade, é um bocado barracada (mais uma) da Intel, mas não deixa de ser positivo a atitude de retirar os produtos com defeito do mercado.

As primeiras boards com o NForce 2 tambem davam muitas barracadas com o RAID e foram vendidas à mesma.
 
Morpheus disse:
mtas delas ... ainda se forem a ver dão mas se tb fores a ver knts pessoas é que tu conheçes que usam RAID???

Deve ser o meu proximo upgrade em principio...os discos ja n estão a acompanhar o resto da evolução! :D
 
O opteron tambem tinha um bug mas ja arrumaram com o bicharoco. :)

AMD Will Release Bug Fix It Has Released The Fix To
Posted by: Chris Tom on Thursday, June 24, 2004 - 07:16 PM

Xbit reports that AMD has both released, and is going to release a fix to the recent bug the Inquirer reported of. I believe they meant to only say that AMD had released the fix to motherboard makers so that they could update their bios revisions to squash the bug. Expect new bios updates that will squash the bug that probably none of you have experienced anyway.
Advanced Micro Devices has released a fix for an erratum that might cause AMD Athlon 64 or AMD Opteron-based computers to hang. The new BIOS version is expected to be distributed among makers of mainboards and personal computers who will then notify their customers about the update.

É verdade. Só soube da existência do problema depois da AMD apresentar a solução para ele.

O quote do Zar0n faz referencia a 3 bugs que podem fazer o processador encravar e ainda não há solução para o prob. A INTEL deve estar mesmo atarefada, lançam um CPU para o mercado e um dia depois mandam um tech report a dizer que o super novo CPU tem uns quantos bugs.

Bem visto :) vamos lá ver se essa marca aproveita a ocasião e não abusa no preçito :)
