Graphite even has a *similar* carbonite structure to diamond, and looks a bit better than coal

Looks like someone's done their GCSE Chemistry

That's got to hurt! People with the P67 chipsets will need to ship back the board back again...

It isn't the first time. Remember the Pentium Pro FPU bug?

yeah, but at least they found the issue now, not 3 years from now where people just decide to buy new instead of RMA. Inconvenient now, but money saving later.

Or the original Celerons. They were nothing but Pentiums with defective caches...

Pentium Pro was an expensive CPU also...
The FDIV bug...
Pentium FDIV bug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And it doesn't look like Intel was the one who found it!
