Hello
I'm currently planning on putting together a server, I thought on using some supermicro board (which commonly features a Intel Atom processor).
However, a few days ago I catched this story on Slashdot describing that some Intel Atom processors suffer from a rare, serious, issue which results in the the processor becoming entirely bricked.

Article linked to from slashdot:

What do you think of this?
I suppose it would be best to avoid purchasing any Intel Atom processor-based system until this issue is resolved?
