Constantine, Re: "Just because AMD's errata list is shorter you cannot claim that that is because they cut the verification procedures short. Is it so hard to admit that one CPU may be better designed than others?"

CPUs are among the most complex creations of mankind. They have multi millions of transistors in them, and the number of combinations of input and output grows exponentially with every transistor added. If you think that all the bugs in the Athlon can be found in the 4 listings in the errata list, then you are naive. Either AMD is not listing their other errata, or they have not found the other bugs. I guarantee you that Intel has not found all of their bugs, either.
