NT1110 Unit 5 Analysis 1: Pentium Flaw The nature of the Pentium flaw was in the floating – point math subsection. In certain conditions‚ low order bits of the result of floating-point division operations would be incorrect. This would lead to an error that will quickly compound in operations to larger errors when future calculations were completed. The flaw was first discovered in June 1994‚ when Intel engineers first noticed that the floating-point unit (FPU) on the chip gave the wrong answer. However

as defined by SFAS #5? June 30: Intel has discovered the flaw No contingent liability‚ no disclosure. According to Intel‚ a series of tests has showed that an error would occur only once every nine billion random calculations‚ or every 27‚000 years for most users. Therefore‚ the chance that customers would encounter errors in calculations on their Pentium-driven PCs is slight and the event that customers would request chip replacement is remote. This means that the implementation

Intel is the reason for the Pentium flaw. First of all the flaw is about a floating point unit (FPU) which is a microprocessor inside the CPU. This basically helps the computer figure out more complex mathematic problems. This flaw made huge mathematical problems come out wrong by a little less than a hundred‚ but most people probably wouldn’t notice it. The flaw was discovered by a math professor in 1994 and he attempted to bring it to Intel’s attention. When they did not want

invalidated Intel’s current branding strategy. This decision allowed competitors to use Intel’s established naming scheme‚ which would have been disastrous. Intel’s response was to develop a trademark name for its processor family‚ the now-familiar “Pentium‚” and launch a corporate branding campaign designed to make Intel the first name in processors. Both moves proved to be enormously successful. Intel became one of the leading companies in the PC boom‚ enjoying virtually unchallenged market leadership

1971. Microprocessors were created to handle large amounts of data at the microscopic level while microcontrollers were computers on chips made to control real time events. Intel shifted its focus to microprocessors in the early 1980s. Since then‚ it has maintained its image as maker of the world’s fastest chips. Moore’s Law Gordon Moore‚ published his view about chip development in 1965. "Moore’s Law" projected that the number of transisitors that could be placed on an integrated circuit would double
