It was a manufacturing error they fixed on new CPUs after week 25. If you bought one now, it would work fine.

- kogepathic 9y agoSo is it a new stepping? If so that would be remarkably fast for a bug to be fixed in silicon. Otherwise why couldn't AMD issue a microcode update to fix the issue on older processors of the same stepping? I guess I'm not understanding how it could be a silicon fix so quickly, or how any other manufacturing defect on the package would cause such an issue.
