It is a flaw in chipset, not the processor. Only the P67/H67 motherboards are affected. Processors are NOT affected.
The problem is in the SATAII controller ONLY, which has a chance of 5-15% of degrading performance depending on usage. It does NOT happen if you just use the SATAIII ports.
So, just use the SATAIII ports (which, for most users, are enough of them) for now and move to Z68 motherboard later. If you need more (SATAIII) ports, you can get a cheap PCI SATA controller card. It's a lot less hassle than returning your motherboard and waiting over a month for new fixed ones to arrive.
