John,

I always wondered when someone was going to figure out how to hack the programmable registers of PII/PIII. Maybe the CPUID software patch Intel provided gave the hackers too much information.

Imagine the damage Intel could suffer if a hacker figured out how to overwrite the programmable microcode!

"Judging by this chart, the market did not believe that the
Pentium III flaw is really a software bug introduced by a
German magazine."

I just saw Maria Bartaromo on CNBC with a big sign "PENTIUM FLAW" right behind her as she talked about the bug. This was probably reported earlier on CNBC.
