AMD XP CPU being recalled?!!

MaxSiren · Oct 17, 2001

I just read on OCWorkbench that AMD is recalling all of it's XP cpus distributed to the retail chain.

What's that all about?

AMD made a mistake on the early batch of the XP cpus enabling them on SMP system thus competing directly with their other new product, the Athlon MP.

It is probably the multiplier (locked/unlocked) issue.. not SMP..

The link says 'the reason for the recall is not given'..

SMP issue explained..

If I understand it correctly, these recalls are only happening in Taiwan.

still begs the question on why the recall!

<< still begs the question on why the recall! >>

Linky: No recall. False rumour.

bacillus · Oct 17, 2001

phew, thank godness it was a false alarm!

Nope, there's no recall.

Neither SMP nor locked/unlocked multipliers would be good reasons to recall a CPU anyway.
