Aj,

Re: "power on erratum"

This problem certainly seems trivial.

However if the chip goes into a strange state on power up this cannot be good for the reliability overall. I can even see long term device failures perhaps a year or two later - particularly where customers switch their computers on and off every day.

Intel should rescreen all the parts in OEM/disti inventory and recall all units for a free fix - just like in an auto recall.

However it seems to me that they are gonna try and brush it off as a non-issue.

I am shocked that Dell/Intel known about it for over a week and its only become known now.

Fortunately not many systems have shipped so the recall should be cheap - if they do the right thing.

regards,

kash
