It took a long time for apple to acknowledge this issue. There was a very in detail thread on their support forum at apple.com which then apple shutdown...shame on them!

It's not the intel chip but the damn CPU thermometer and heatsink (used to keep unit cool - how ironic) !!!

Now the question is whether apple will be a man and do a recall, or as they normally have done in the past, sweep under the floor. It has certainly made me put on hold decision to buy this otherwise great macbook
