Intel Issues Expected to Lose 10 Million Dollars
|
Aiming at Intel January listed the "CougarPoint" 6 series chipset existing design problems, yesterday (feb. 24), Intel held related issues, media communication, announced the matters related to the disposal.
Intel said, the problem about the chipset global number 8 million, is expected to give Intel losses from $1 billion.
On April restored to full capacity
2011 January 31 (American time), Intel announced at the first time, the company found recently launched support second-generation intelligent Intel KuRui processor Intel 6 series chipset part of SATA port may affect the performance of existing potential problems. Announcement to say, at 6 series chipset six SATA port, 2-5 port (SATA2.0) with use time increases, probably in three years have roughly about 5% chance appears performance declines or unsteady potential problems.
Intel company says, the problem about the 800 number chipset global million expected to Intel losses from $1 billion, the emerging chipset problem has been solved, newer products in February 12 has begun availability and will restore full capacity in April.
Intel architecture senior manager zhao told the daily economic news reporter, said the chipset problems is limited to Intel 6 series chipset, rather than the second generation intelligent Intel KuRui processors, the problem is limited to six series chipset part of SATA port in life span function premature decay. "Six series chipset questions only design considerations is insufficient, functional fault is not equal to the design flaws, the latter will directly cause functional fault and error, not in use for a long time after a certain probability of functional recession."
The daily economic news reporter learned from Intel on these problems in the global market exists in use Intel H67 and P67 chipset desktop systems, and use Intel HM67 and HM65 mobile system, possibly affected DP67BG, including Intel brand motherboard DP67DE, DP67BA, DH67GD, DH67CL, DH67CF, DH67BL etc, but the above model only part in the Chinese market sales.
Or shock quarter worldwide PC sales
"Due to the problems of the six series chipset from listed to stop supply only 22 days cycle, and with a week or so, the Spring Festival holiday, so in the Chinese market shipments very small." Intel brand and the market strategy department ZhangYiFan said, now has listed the only part of new four processors computer, this kind of computer belong to high-end type, the current market sales quantity is limited.
For the Chinese market involves many questions chip and corresponding impact, Intel said it had no immediate statistics.
According to information, Intel in the PC industry chain upstream and chipset influenced problems rippled the industry. The Intel admit department 6 chipset existing design considerations insufficiency, numerous PC motherboard manufacturer also in succession publish corresponding solutions, currently include lenovo, asus, dell, HP computer manufacturer also stop selling through using problem chipset of products and promised compensation losses, assist Intel solve consumer 6 series chipset brings the problems.
Zhao said that at present B2 version of the six series chipset in B3 version has fully resolved, and on February 12 start shipment, all the recycling problem chipset Intel will be destroyed. The Intel to all the OEM, ODM manufacturer launched unconditional return activities, which also means defect chips will make Intel out of real gold and silver to deal with problems arising possibly.
The official predicted that according to Intel for dealing with problems of the chip cost could reach $700 million, this also makes Intel first-quarter earnings of $3 billion is likely to be lost. But chip market research firm Mercury chief researcher dean is expected to, Intel for more problems arising possibly spends at least 10 million dollars.
The personage inside course of study, because Intel occupy widespread concern about 80% of the global CPU market share, defect chip problems or in a certain extent impact quarter worldwide PC sales.
