34 Design Flaws in 20 Days of Intel Core Duo

Pray_4_Mojo writes "Geek.com is reporting that Intel's errata (bug) documentation shows that the Intel Core Duo chip has 34 known issues found in the 20 days since the launch of the iMac Core Duo. (you can read the list) with only plans to fix one of them. While bugs in hardware is nothing new (the P4 has 64 known issues, at this time Intel does not plan to fix a single one) this marks one of the first times that Intel released a processor with known bugs, and some of the bugs are of higher severity than in the past. Also alarming is the rate the flaws have been found, at one and half per day since the launch of the iMac Core Duo."

more reason to wait

this just adds more fuel to the fire for me about not wanting to make the switch just yet. Sure be an early adopter the voices say, I would rather wait. I hope a second gen POWERBOOK!!!! (screw the MacBook Pro name) gets released later this year.

Taco are you on Crack??

Intel has had errata since Appendix H was published in 1993 during FDIV.

So everyone wants to "swift-boat" Intel.

Here's a dirty little secret:

AMD DOES NOT POST ERRATA.

I would expect more from you Taco, you've been doing this so long.
