Intel explains the Core 2 CPU errata

After the errata was posted, Intel partners were informed that a fix is on the way. Later, Intel pushed out a microcode update in a form of BIOS update to its hardware partners, and there are already a lot of products in the channel with correct BIOSes from the start. For others, updating your BIOS with a newer version will apply the hotly debated update.

Better read the link.

@ Mr.Vivek, the marks were Residue. Not burn marks. Lol.

OpenBSD founder Theo de Raadt on C2D “non-fixable bugs.”

Various developers are busy implimenting workarounds for serious bugs in Intel’s Core 2 cpu.
These processors are buggy as hell, and some of these bugs don’t just cause development/debugging problems, but will ASSUREDLY be exploitable from userland code.
