WTF, Intel? This is reminding me of a very similar bug from 9 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14630183

Clearly Intel needs to do far more extensive regression-testing, with things like demoscene productions --- especially the extremely size-optimised ones that can exercise the edge-cases much better than the usual "compiler slop".

Intel knowingly sold defective cpus and denied the defect until reports hit critical mass. I don’t think they care.

"knowingly" is meaningless, as otherwise they wouldn't even bother releasing errata lists; it's more likely that they underestimated the severity or their planned obsolescence calculations happened to be more statistically favourable than reality.

		The link you provided doesn’t match your comment, one of the comments in that thread points out that Intel blamed motherboards during the early stages.
