Hi,

I have a question about Pentium-66 processor.

I have two Pentium-66 CPUs with equal sSpecs - SX837, but one of them has the old logo (with "PROCESSOR" marking) and the other CPU has the new logo.
How is it possible that the CPUs with the same sSpec number have different logos ?!

Which of them has the FDIV bug ? I thought that the processors with "PROCESSOR" marking have this bug, and the CPUs without "PROCESSOR" don't. But I am not sure now. And I can't test them (no mainboard).


Thanks.

FDIV bug means that calculation :

4195835-(4195835/3145727)*3145727

result must be = 0
but result with FDIV bug = 256
