P4 has 40 bugs

[razvan]

Has anybody checked the errata section on the P4 processor? If not please do it:

You will have a very nasty surprise!!! P4 has 40 known bugs and many of them have no "workaround"!!! That means P4 will not be 100% reliable with present software and even with software written specially for it would STILL BE UNRELIABLE.
I am the only one who thinks like that?
I whish to see the errata for Athlon. If some of you can send me a link...





Thanks, Razvan

After briefly reviewing the errata and discovering that it was way too technical for me I've decided that the P4 sounds wankered..nevermind Intel..P5 anyone?
