Nomenclature
Errata are design defects or errors. These may cause the processor’s behavior to
deviate from published specifications.
Hardware and software designed to be used with
any given stepping must assume that all errata documented for that stepping are
present on all devices.
S-Spec Number is a five-digit code used to identify products. Products are
differentiated by their unique characteristics,e.g., core speed, L2 cache size, package
type, etc. as described in the processor identification information table. Read all notes
associated with each S-Spec number.
