"I don't understand what you are saying." Yeah, I can see that. "When you debug a post silicon problem, it has nothing to do with tweaking any sort of transistors." Ok, what I am saying is that the libraries that Intel is using are not as stable because they are always tweaking them. Because the design is done at a lower level, it is more difficult to simulate all the possible cases. Take as an example two functionally similar programs, one written in C++ and one written in assembly. The latter is going to take more programmers (or time to program) and be more difficult to fix when a problem is found. But, it is likely going to be faster and need less memory to run. So which is superior? It depends on the criteria, now doesn't it? "My suggestion is that you stop trying to argue on topics that you don't fully understand." I guess I defer to your expertise in this. Especially when you can't actually point out anything that I have wrong...
