chipguy: Re: All non-trivial chips have bugs..
True. However, the more trivial bugs are reported in the Errata, not in a press release. The fact that this bug has made the newswires is bad, regardless of the seriousness.
It is curious that it escaped escaped detection for so long, the silicon has been around for more than two years.
If there were millions of Itanium 2s out there, I would agree that this is likely a very rare occurrence. However, considering how few Itanics there are, this could be a potentially wide-spread recall.
Then again, it could be a "no, never-mind" like the recent 3.0 P4 release.
