Intel chip bug
Intel chip bug affects HP, Dell, Samsung and Lenovo


Quote:
The problem centres on a chipset that helps a central processor communicate with other parts of a PC, including memory and hard drives.
About eight million of the faulty chipsets, called Cougar Point, have been distributed so far, said Intel.
Quote:
Although millions of the faulty chips have been sent out to manufacturers, only about 100,000 had been put into finished systems.
