Intel, now Dell acknowledge Coppermine bug theregister.co.uk

Story's been updated, Dell's weighed in with confirmation, apparently.

The representative from Dell US said that it had initiated the stop ship notice just before the Thanksgiving holiday last week. The actual stop ship too effect at the beginning of this week.

"This is a dual due diligence move," she said. "We're implementing a screen for the erratum. To date, we haven't experienced any problems and we're just implementing it as an extra precaution."

She said that the Optiplex GX110 was sold to corporate and institutional customers, who expected quality machines that worked every time, which is why Dell had taken the precaution.

The Dell move must mean that other PC manufacturers are either already taking steps to screen chips and products, or are about to.
