I have had no issues with my Sandy Bridge system since shortly after the
Linux-based drivers were implemented. I started using the test versions
prior to their official release and have had few issues since. U am unclear
about the "Pentium" reference, though. While Core processors are
descendants of Pentium, Sandy Bridge came long after Intel had moved to
Core processors, so I have no idea what "Pentium" means in this context. My
CPU is a Core i5-2520M, now 9 years old.
