Intel Swears That It's Gonna Stop Its Firmware From Bricking Any More SSDs
A few weeks ago, Intel pulled a firmware update the day after it came out because many users running 64-bit Windows 7 found that it bricked their SSDs. Whoops. The good news though is that Intel has acknowledged and replicated the bug and is working on a fix. The bad news? There's no timeline for when the fix will come out.[Reg Hardware] -

Nvidia Confirms Intel's Senseless USB 3.0 Delay Until 2011
Bad news: Nvidia has confirmed Intel's stance on USB 3.0—no Intel chipsets will support the new standard until 2011. Short of Intel stating something different, USB 3.0 probably won't hit mass consumption until then. Is there any hope? More » -

Via Nano 3000 Wants to Rip Out the Eyes of the Intel Atom
Via's latest nano processor, the 3000, has gone official today for a release in early 2010 in speeds ranging between 1 to 2GHz. The promise? 20% lower power consumption than old Vias, and 1080P playback. Intel's gotten cocky enough in the space that we don't mind the competition one bit. More » -

Intel May Postpone USB 3.0 Support on Chipsets Until 2011
A report has surfaced alleging that Intel has pushed back the implementation of USB 3.0 in its chipsets a whole year, to early 2011. It's unconfirmed, and we hope it's not correct—it'd seriously slow down USB 3.0's adoption. More » -

Nvidia's Nforce Chipset Is Dead in the Water
I used an Nvidia Nforce-based motherboard in the first computer I ever built, so I'm a little sad to see that Nvidia's freezing all development on their Nforce chipset because of licensing issues with Intel, primarily over whether or not Nvidia's license covers chipsets for Nehalem-based processors. Nvidia's not developing new chipsets for AMD's processors, either. Lame-o. [PC Mag] -
