Would fabrication failure be considered a bug? Isn't the rate kinda up there for chips that don't make it out of the factory? Not to mention on arrival there's a failure rate.
But also, I don't know too much about this, but when Linus tech tips did a tour of a chip fabrication plant, I remember learning that apparently the high end chips are chips where all the little bits inside all work, and if they detect like, busted wee transistors or whatever, they can just use that chip as a lower power processor. If that's the case that's like... Kinda a bug, but they just "code around it," right?
