Plans ERRATA
U1 X No Fix Transaction is not retired after BINIT#
U2 X No Fix Invalid opcode 0FFFh requires A ModRM byte
U3 X No Fix Processor may hang due to speculative page walks to nonexistent system memory
U4 X No Fix Memory type of the load lock different from its corresponding store unlock
U5 X No Fix Machine check architecture error reporting and recovery may not work as expected
U6 X No Fix Debug mechanisms may not function as expected
U7 X No Fix Cascading of performance counters does not work correctly when forced overflow is enabled
U8 X No Fix EMON event counting of x87 loads may not work as expected
U9 X No Fix System bus interrupt messages without data and which receive a hard failure response may hang
the processor
U10 X No Fix The processor signals Page Fault exception (#PF) instead of Alignment Check exception (#AC) on
an unlocked CMPXCHG8B instruction
U11 X No Fix FSW may not be Completely Restored after Page Fault on FRSTOR or FLDENV instructions
U12 X No Fix Processor issues inconsistent transaction size attributes for locked operation
U13 X No Fix When the processor is in the System Management Mode (SMM), debug registers may be fully
writeable
U14 X No Fix Shutdown and IERR# may result due to a machine check exception on a HT Technology enabled
processor
U15 X No Fix Processor may hang under certain frequencies and 12.5% STPCLK# duty cycle
U16 X No Fix System may hang if a fatal cache error causes Bus Write Line (BWL) transaction to occur to the
same cache line address as an outstanding Bus Read Line (BRL) or Bus Read-Invalidate Line
(BRIL)
U17 X No Fix A write to an APIC register sometimes may appear to have not occurred
U18 X No Fix Parity error in the L1 cache may cause the processor to hang
U19 X No Fix Sequence of locked operations can cause two threads to receive stale data and cause application
hang
U20 X No Fix Bus locks and SMC detection may cause the processor to temporarily hang
U21 X No Fix Incorrect debug exception (#DB) may occur when a data breakpoint is set on an FP instruction
U22 X No Fix xAPIC may not report some illegal vector errors
U23 X No Fix Enabling no-eviction mode (NEM) may prevent the operation of the second logical processor in a
HT Technology enabled Boot Strap Processor (BSP)
U24 X No Fix Task Priority Register (TPR) updates during voltage transitions of power management events may
cause a system hang
U25 X No Fix Incorrect duty cycle is chosen when on-demand clock modulation is enabled in a processor
supporting HT Technology
U26 X No Fix Memory aliasing of pages as uncacheable memory type and Write Back (WB) may hang the
system
U27 X No Fix Interactions between the Instruction Translation Lookaside Buffer (ITLB) and the Instruction
streaming buffer may cause unpredictable software behavior
U28 X No Fix Using STPCLK# and executing code from very slow memory could lead to a system hang
U29 X No Fix Processor provides a 4-byte store unlock after an 8-byte load lock
U30 X No Fix Data breakpoints on the high half of a floating-point line split may not be captured
