James, Intel's big budget of R&D shows the lousy job in the world. I would say that the shameless copycat did not digest the stolen technology and innovations well. Intel has to pay one way or the other. As the result, Intel processors are buggy and slow to system reponse while having great benchmarks.

James: <If the bug is true,> What do you mean? I just compiled the program posted on the Usenet, with four lines of code, and a P100 I have handy just locked up. No surprise but K6 just works as it should - it generates "invalid opcode exception" and safely returns to operating system. That's it. The most dangerous in this situation are various security holes in web browsers. By now they were able to read user files only, but with Java executables who knows what those virus makers are thinking of? BTW, are there any ideas as what could be the possible scale of recall? Any estimations?
