Sgolds, Re: Will Madison have the same bug? Will Madison be delayed for a rework of the layout, or perhaps be limited in clock rate also?

They already said that Madison does not have the problem.

In fact, not all McKinley chips have the problem, either. Intel apparently has a detection script that can tell a bad CPU from a good one. It also sounds like the particular failing instruction sequence is well known. If an Itanium 2 system runs software that would never use the particular instructions, it does not need to be replaced (though Intel is offering replacements for all CPUs that fail the detection script).
