Re: "For one thing, AMD doesn't have OEMs, or boxmakers developing workstations and servers around their CPUs like Intel does. Those errata lists allow those customers to build prototypes early in the game, with the earliest stepping chips, to start getting the bugs out of their other hardware, microcode and software. If your chips are only going into Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sixpack's home PCs, obviously AMD doesn't care to provide errata lists. That's one reason. "

Well embarrassment is another reason too.

How about compiler developers? Don't they need to know the errata?
