Please at least give some sources in future. No one can make informed
decisions (which appears to be your intent) based on rumours.
So far I've found that the origin 'source' for any articles on it seems
to be just one site and article, hardware.info:
http://us.hardware.info/news/33716/usb-30-problems-for-intels-haswell
In the article we've got a "trusted source" telling hardware.info a
document exists, and the only corroboration is an internal document from
an partner company that Hardware Info say they've seen.
Intel have not yet made any kind of formal announcement that this bug
exists that I can see, so any assertion that it even exists should
probably be taken with a pinch of salt for the moment.
From what Hardware.info claims is in the release to manufacturers:
"In the document, Intel purportedly informs manufacturers that a system
with Haswell inside, when waking from S3 sleep mode, will experience
issues with devices connected through USB 3.0. For example this would
result in blank pages displaying in Acrobat Reader PDFs or video
playback stopping, rather than continuing. A quick fix would be to
restart the failing application.
For that reason, Intel apparently describes the problem only as a
nuisance for end users, as there would be no serious consequences like
data loss. The company indicates the issues will not impact the release
of the Haswell processor series, but it is of the intention of resolving
this problem in a future processor stepping. So it looks like Haswell
will launch as planned, even if the company is still researching what
other consequences this issue can possibly have."
It doesn't seem all that significant a bug, at least on the surface.

To All,
Intel has reported a problem between the Haswell processor, the
/next-generation/ microprocessor that uses 8-series cor-logic sets.
Intel says when a PC system with *Core i-series Haswell inside* wakes
from S3 sleep mode, it experiences issues with devices connected
_/through/_ USB 3.0. Intel defines the issue only as a nuisance for
end users.
I thought that this bit of news would be important to those
considering this next-generation equipment in future purchases, and
to make you all aware of this "nuisance".
