Sandy Bridge

[4] Upgraded features from Nehalem include: All Sandy Bridge processors with one, two, or four cores report the same CPUID model 0206A7h[18] and are closely related.20× PCIe 2.0 [32] model Suffixes to denote: On 31 January 2011, Intel issued a recall on all 67-series motherboards due to a flaw in the Cougar Point Chipset.[42] After two weeks, Intel continued shipping some chipsets, but manufacturers had to agree to a set of terms that will prevent customers from encountering the bug.[43] With Sandy Bridge, Intel has tied the speed of every bus (USB, SATA, PCI, PCIe, CPU cores, Uncore, memory etc.)Sandy and Ivy Bridge processors with vPro capability have security features that can remotely disable a PC or erase information from hard drives.[49][50] Sandy and Ivy Bridge processors contain a DRM technology that some video streaming web sites rely on to restrict use of their content.
