Subject: AMD L3 bug
Same darn L3 bug that existed in ALL AMD mp capables, starting with k7
No, they never fixed it, they discounted it due to where it was showing up: concurrent 16bit and 32bit FP operations incorrectly flagging good cache data as bad. And that wasn't the only problem with L3. Some of them they didn't have a clue where they were coming from, and the policy was to hush-hush.
So, no, it surprises me not, AMD has cache problems. Apparently they are getting worse due to thier chosen design path.
You know as well as I do that Intel also hit critical design problems with their NetBurst, only AMD has not the capacity to Intel it's way out of it.
