PB - RE: "Although I can't be more specific, several iterations of what I have described previously as "the most successful CPU's of all time" were shippable on the A0 stepping."

I hope you aren't counting the original Pentium with the slight FPU erratum as one of the several iterations.

PB,

BTW, sometimes designs DO work right out of the box.

Every design I have ever worked on has booted some OS at first silicon. There is a big difference between a design working out of the box, and a shippable product however.
