Re: No joy from Intel
That's not new. All SoCs come with an errata sheet of hardware bugs that must be corrected by software. Be it Intel, AMD, ARM, Infineon, Qualcomm ... there is no such things as bug free hardware. That's because hardware validations are much more costly than software ones. A CPU vendor will not modify a verified design if a bug can be easily workaround with a software patch.
That said, this Intel bug is of epic proportions. A huge optimization flushed down the toilet.
