For some reason, I'm reminded of the 486 math processor  screwup of 1992 (?).  As I vaguely recall, the math coprocessor might have errors in the fourth digit of significance.  Intel offered to replace the affected chips.

I think it is the Pentium FDIV bug. IIRC only the server CPU was replaced in the whole office, don't remember why. From TFA: microcode can't fix it, lol. AMD is not affected. Shouldn't Intel do recall again?
