 |  Skylake bug found A team of maths experts have found errors in Intel's Skylake architecture which freezes the chip. Boffins working for the Mersenne Community, found that the bug surfaced when Intel systems were tasked with hunting for prime numbers, using the Prime95 software. Depending on the program's parameters the system freezes but the same software on other intel chips worked fine. The Mersenne Community records prime numbers and its handcoded assembly language in use for the last 20 years on tens of thousands of machines running 24 hours a day was only stumbling on Skylake powered PCs. Needless to say they told Chipzilla who wanted to know about system configurations and so on, so it could replicate the issue and diagnose the problems. http://fudzilla.com/news/processors/...lake-bug-found |
