Sorry didn't see the other post on this topic, please delete.

In the document, Intel purportedly informs manufacturers that a system with Haswell inside, when waking from S3 sleep mode, will experience issues with devices connected through USB 3.0. For example this would result in blank pages displaying in Acrobat Reader PDFs or video playback stopping, rather than continuing. A quick fix would be to restart the failing application.
For that reason, Intel apparently describes the problem only as a nuisance for end users, as there would be no serious consequences like data loss. The company indicates the issues will not impact the release of the Haswell processor series, but it is of the intention of resolving this problem in a future processor stepping. So it looks like Haswell will launch as planned, even if the company is still researching what other consequences this issue can possibly have.

It is worth noting that Intel is requesting its partners to accept this issue, before it will supply them with processors.

So in the last 4 Intel CPU releases:
SB: P67 SATA Bug & Recall
SB-E: C2 stepping
Ivy: TIM under the IHS
Haswell: This


Stream of Bad Luck or Intel slipping on QC? I personally don't think this is a serious issue as Anand mentioned that mobile ramps up in Q3(not Q2) and they are more affected by this than Desktop(as I think fewer desktop user use Sleep compared to mobile).

p.s Sorry the thread title should be "USB3.0 Problem for Haswell".

Well not knowing a ton about the P67 bug I want to say it was related to the chipset -- Cougar Point and that Haswell's bug is also chipset related -- Lynx Point. I believe the SB-E issue was the lack of some VT feature in initial steppings? That's problematic. Ivy? That's just some cheap TIM, either done to save money or on purpose to keep people from OC'ing the heck out of Ivy.

So if I count correctly you're shooting 1/4 of which the 1 is a minor VT feature in an initial release enthusiast line. Nice try on dissing intel tho. We can pull up all of AMD's mistakes too if you like.
