Intel Corp (INTC)

And if that processor has bugs in one or more of the steppings, how would the code know if it's safe to run under all conditions?

Ahh... Interesting.

I'd have expected you to know that only the Vendor ID is checked. This fact has been stated here many times, as with all of the web sites that have discovered/documented/discussed the issue.

I guess we're not all on the same page wrt the facts.
