Bram Stolk @bramstolk.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Wait if F00F different from FDIV bug? I actually remember a courier coming to my door in Amsterdam, he handing me a new CPU, I handing him my Pentium 90MHz. I was amazed by the efficiency of the warranty exchange. Very little downtime. 100 0
Tom Forsyth @tomforsyth.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yes, totally different. The FDIV bug was an inaccuracy in the result of the divide instruction - didn't actually crash the chip. 000 0
