With all due respect, Jim, I'd sure like to see an article that doesn't come from the yellow-bellied anti-Intel Register. I'm very sure that Coppermine has a lot of errata, just like Athlon. None of them can be considered rather fatal, or else we'd see a total recall of all parts.

I don't know how much this is hurting unit shipments, but I still believe the Intel execs when they say that demand is sky high and Coppermine is yielding well. But as usual, all the AMD fanatics are using this as some sort of proof that there are indeed production problems at Intel, when the truth could actually be out of their reach, much less the reach of the YUK Register.

But I guess now that you're 100% out of INTC, you're feeling free to join the AMD fanatics as a temporary member. Trying to talk INTC stock down, Jim?

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.
