- read_if_gay_ 6y agoHow can they validate a CPU if Intel can’t?
- sjwright 6y agoThe same way as they validate the serial UART: by validating its application. Does the CPU fail if it’s close to an x-ray machine or an MRI? Intel isn’t going to tell you that.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoTrue. But I was thinking along the lines of hardware bugs like the Pentium division bug. I doubt manufacturers go looking for those, and that would be one (albeit slightly contrived) way how someone could die from Intel's mistakes.
