Macbook Pro and Imac 2011 updates delayed?

Yes, sad news, but Intel has discovered a problem with its lasted chip set "The Cougar" which is part of Sandy Bridge. Intel has fixed found the problem and fixed it, now doing a recall which is costing them 700 million dollars.

The problem is if that Apple is planning to use these new chips in their updates, they are going to have to wait until they can get their hands on the new chips. This is only though if they had a February lunch date in mind. As now they are going to have to get the new chips, test them and mass produce them, which would set the updates for sometime in Late March/early April. If apple was going to lunch the computers then anyway, I guess it wouldn't make to much of a differences.

Maybe we should just wait for Ivy Bridge?
