hi !
i want to make sure that the sx836 pentium has the FDIV bug
because in this forum, this pentium is not mentionned :
cpu-museum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1133&highlight=fdiv
in opposite, on this site, it's written that it has:
rarecpus.com/intel.html
somebody can explain me please ?

FDIV bug for Pentium 60/66 was fixed in stepping D1. I think SX836 has stepping C1, but I can't prove it. This S-Spec number is not in Intel' specification update, and I don't have Pentium 60/66 motherboard to test my processor.

Wouldn't the date code give a clue?
From what I understand the "bug" affected all Pentium chips made prior to December of 1994.
The date on the ones I have range from late 1993 to early 1994. |

Very interesting but I have Pentium 66 from 94 year and Pentium 66 FDIV bug from 94 year. Question is from which week Intel started with correct version ?
