I wonder if the Pentium Navajo Rug has the same errors. ;-)

  That's an interesting question. The Navajo rug that Intel commissioned shows the Pentium P54C. This is the higher-frequency version of the original Pentium (P5). The FDIV bug had been fixed by this point, so the rug does not have the FDIV bug. But you can see in the rug exactly where the FDIV bug was. I wrote about the Pentium Navajo rug here, by the way: https://www.righto.com/2024/08/pentium-navajo-fairchild-shiprock.html https://www.righto.com/2024/08/pentium-navajo-fairchild-ship...

    Fascinaging stuff. This should be a separate submission!
