Intel Ice Lake CPUs Have a System Crashing Bug

Is this going to be a repeat of the mid-1990s? Where you have to chuck the processor, because of the Pentium 60 to Pentium 120 having a basic math problem, where IIRC, it can become obvious in the Windows calculator.

That was the FDIV bug, and Intel recalled those CPUs, which cost them half a billion dollars at the time (1997).

IIRC, Intel said that the 133s and higher, don't have the major bug. But, if you have a Pentium 100, prepare to chuck it!
