Re: "The only positive thing about this latest fiasco is that the recalled part seems to be based on the new stepping C0(?) which if leave uncaught would cost Intel millions which can be another FDIV saga" Relax Gary. Based on available information, this is a speedpath issue and not a bug. The same parts run at a lower speed should work just fine, meaning Intel will have more 1GHz parts to sell. I also think the 2 month delay quoted for a fix is wrong. A new screen should be in place much sooner however I wouldn't try to predict it's effect on binsplits. Perhaps they might try more system level evaluation as well. EP
