FDIV Bug[edit | edit source]

Pre-1995 steppings of the Intel Pentium had incorrect binary floating point results when doing divisions. Five of the look-up entries from the SRT division algorithm table were mistakenly omitted, but were inserted in all future revisions. This resulted in a mass recall of faulty pre-1995 Intel Pentium processors and they were replaced with revised ones.
